2018
Hosted our first open workshop series on practical budgeting tools.
Our story
We help people build a healthy relationship with everyday money.
zippy-roadster began as a set of community workshops in Bristol. We noticed that most financial advice skipped the basics, so we built a studio focused on the fundamentals: simple routines, clear priorities, and steady habits.
What we believe
Financial management should feel calm, not overwhelming. We design tools that are easy to repeat and easy to explain to others.
Company philosophy
Clarity creates confidence.
We prefer small steps over big promises. The goal is to help you notice progress every week so you can keep going even when life is busy.
How we work
- Listen first and shape advice around real routines.
- Keep language human and remove unnecessary jargon.
- Build habits that last beyond the first month.
Milestones
