OUR STORY
LET'S GET DOWN TO WHY THIS STARTED
Welcome to Life Sumo, where we turn financial spaghetti throwers into master planners—no questionable pasta art required. 🍝
Let’s face it: Life doesn’t come with a “Ctrl+Z” button. You’ve either got a plan, or you’re flinging spaghetti at the wall, hoping something sticks (spoiler: it’s usually just sauce). But here’s the secret: Everyone starts as a spaghetti thrower. The difference? Those winning at life have a Financial Plan —and that’s where we come in.
At Life Sumo, we believe better decisions start with better information. Our mission? To arm you with the tools, insights, and ninja-level clarity to build a financial plan that actually sticks. Think of us as your friendly, non-judgy sensei, here to chop through the chaos and help you conquer money, career, and life goals like a pro.
We’re not about jargon-filled lectures or spreadsheets that haunt your dreams. We’re about real talk, actionable steps, and maybe a few bad puns along the way. Because financial planning shouldn’t feel like wrestling a sumo wrestler. It should feel like you’ve got this.
Ready to stop throwing spaghetti and start sticking it to life?

Hi, I'm Moose!
but most people call me James.
DIRECTOR | SENIOR ADVISER
LLB. Adv Dip FP, SMSF Accred.
You would think 10 years in I would be great with this stuff but the reality is - I hate this kind of thing. Talking about myself - my best work is done serving others. But my team insisted this was important so here we are. They even held me against my will to start a podcast around our mission.
You see, I've seen it all: the good, the bad, and the “why did I think crypto llamas were a solid investment?” moments. But when I tell you, I built Life Sumo off every lesson I have learnt the hard way, you will never believe the story I have to tell you and why this is working for every day people to take a hold of the hardest parts of adulting.
