Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Quentivara's budget planning program and how we can help transform your financial future
Program Basics
Our budget planning program is a comprehensive financial education system designed specifically for Malaysian families and individuals. We teach practical budgeting techniques, debt management strategies, and investment basics through interactive workshops, personalized coaching sessions, and digital tools. The program combines traditional financial principles with modern Malaysian economic realities, helping you create sustainable spending habits and build long-term wealth.
The core program runs for 12 weeks, with weekly 2-hour sessions. However, learning doesn't stop there. You'll receive ongoing support for 6 months after completion, including monthly check-ins and access to our resource library. Most participants see significant improvements in their budgeting habits within the first 4-6 weeks, but we've found that 12 weeks allows for proper habit formation and sustained change.
We focus specifically on Malaysian financial realities - from EPF optimization to navigating local banking systems. Our approach combines behavioral psychology with practical tools, meaning we don't just teach you what to do, but help you understand why you make certain financial decisions. Plus, our small group format (maximum 15 participants per cohort) ensures personalized attention that larger programs simply can't provide.
Absolutely not! We welcome complete beginners and design our content to be accessible regardless of your starting point. Whether you've never created a budget before or you're struggling with existing financial plans, our program meets you where you are. We start with fundamentals and gradually build complexity, ensuring everyone can follow along comfortably.
Yes, and in fact, many of our most successful participants joined us during challenging financial periods. We have specific modules dedicated to debt management and financial recovery. Our approach is judgment-free and focuses on practical solutions rather than dwelling on past financial mistakes. We'll help you create a realistic plan to address your current situation while building better habits for the future.
Enrollment & Logistics
Registration is straightforward and can be completed in three ways:
- Online through our website with instant confirmation
- Phone registration at +6045850167 during business hours
- In-person at our Johor Bahru office
We offer flexible payment options to make the program accessible. You can pay in full upfront for a discount, or choose our 3-month installment plan. We also provide needs-based scholarships for qualifying participants. During your initial consultation, we'll discuss which payment structure works best for your current situation. Remember, this is an investment in your financial future that typically pays for itself within the first few months.
We offer both formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules. Our hybrid approach allows you to attend some sessions in-person at our Johor Bahru location and others virtually. Online sessions are fully interactive with breakout rooms, screen sharing, and digital worksheets. However, we do recommend attending at least 3-4 sessions in-person for the full community experience and hands-on activities.
Life happens, and we understand that. All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours through our participant portal. You'll also receive detailed session notes and any worksheets used. If you miss more than 2 sessions, we'll arrange a brief one-on-one catch-up call to ensure you're not falling behind. We find that participants who attend at least 80% of live sessions get the most value from the program.
We actually encourage couples to participate together! Joint participation leads to better implementation of strategies at home and reduces conflicts around money management. We offer a special couples rate and include specific exercises designed for partners to work through together. Even if only one person can attend regularly, we provide take-home materials and exercises specifically designed for couples to complete together.
Results & Support
While results vary by individual, our participants typically see measurable improvements within 30 days. Most report reducing unnecessary expenses by 15-25%, increasing their savings rate, and feeling significantly less stressed about money. By program completion, 85% of participants have established an emergency fund and 70% have created a sustainable long-term investment plan. The key is consistent application of what you learn.
Yes! Support doesn't end when the formal program concludes. You'll receive 6 months of follow-up support including monthly group check-ins, access to our private alumni community, and quarterly workshops on advanced topics. You can also schedule up to 2 individual consultation calls during this period if you encounter specific challenges or want to review your progress.
We're confident in our program's effectiveness, but we understand it might not be the right fit for everyone. If you attend at least 6 sessions and complete the assigned exercises but don't see any improvement in your financial situation, we'll work with you individually to identify what's not working. In rare cases where we can't find a solution together, we offer a partial refund or credit toward future programs.
You're ready if you're committed to making positive changes in your financial life and can dedicate 2-3 hours per week to the program (including session time and homework). The best time to start is now - waiting for the "perfect" financial situation often means waiting indefinitely. Our program is designed to help you regardless of your current financial position, income level, or past experiences with money management.
Absolutely. We maintain strict confidentiality protocols and never share personal financial information. While we encourage group discussion and peer support, you control what you're comfortable sharing. All written materials, assessments, and one-on-one consultations are kept completely private. We're also happy to sign additional confidentiality agreements if your situation requires it.
