Fostering Economic Development & Financial Literacy in Western Australia
At Purposely, we are driven by making a difference within our community through supporting financial literacy and freedom amongst all people.
With our ongoing work in the Kimberly region in Western Australia, we’ve provided First Nations people with much needed resources to foster economic development.
Supporting Non-For-Profit Business in WA
At Purposely, we help non-profit organisations move from uncertainty to clarity by transforming the way their finances are structured, understood, and used.
By strengthening financial systems, we ensure boards have the transparency they need to govern confidently, while CEOs gain real control over day-to-day and long-term decision-making. We work with a diverse range of organisations, including remote Indigenous communities, independent schools, arts and cultural groups, Native Title bodies, and local sporting clubs — each with unique funding, compliance, and operational challenges.
Our contribution goes beyond reporting. By providing clear cost structures, divisional insights, and board-ready financial information, we enable organisations to plan with confidence, demonstrate accountability to funders, and respond quickly to change.
This improved financial visibility supports stronger governance, more sustainable funding outcomes, and resilient operations. This stability allows organisations to build long-term capability, maintain continuity of services, and strengthen the communities they exist to serve.
How Purposely Supports Kimberly
Fragmented systems and disconnected financial data often hide operational inefficiencies. Over time, these inefficiencies drive up costs, erode margins, and make it increasingly difficult for organisations to sustain the impact they were created to deliver.
In the Kimberley, where funding cycles are complex and service delivery is often remote and resource-constrained, the consequences can be significant. Leaders and boards are left without clear visibility, forecasting cash flow becomes unreliable, and long-term planning is reduced to guesswork.
Purposely has directly addressed these challenges by working alongside Kimberley-based organisations at critical moments of growth, transition, and funding pressure.
By consolidating systems and providing a single source of truth, we have enabled boards to clearly understand their true cost structures, identify profit and funding drivers, and make confident, timely decisions. Our board-ready reporting and outcome-based scorecards have supported organisations through audits, funding negotiations, and strategic planning processes that would otherwise have stalled.
Importantly, our approach goes beyond technical finance. Through responsive, culturally aware financial management, Purposely has strengthened the economic viability of community organisations across the Kimberley.
This has helped protect local jobs, improve transparency for funders and supporters, and create stable foundations for sustainable growth — ensuring organisations can continue enriching local culture, wellbeing, and economic development across the region.
Bringing Financial Literacy to Remote Communities
Purposely’s work has delivered meaningful flow-on impacts for remote Kimberley communities by strengthening the financial foundations of the organisations that support them. Many of our clients operate in complex funding environments and work closely with agencies such as the National Indigenous Australians Agency, the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations, the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission and the Kimberley Development Commission.
By implementing accurate reporting, streamlined financial systems, and strong governance frameworks, Purposely enables these organisations to meet regulatory expectations with confidence and credibility.
Beyond systems and compliance, Purposely actively builds financial literacy within remote organisations. Through clear, accessible reporting and hands-on support, boards and local leaders develop a stronger understanding of cash flow, costs, and funding sustainability.
This improved financial confidence supports better decision-making, stronger accountability, and long-term planning. As a result, organisations are better equipped to secure funding, grow local employment, and deliver programs focused on cultural preservation, women’s empowerment, education, and economic participation—contributing to more resilient communities across the Kimberley.
Fostering Financial Literacy Across WA
Across Western Australia, and particularly in remote and regional communities, financial literacy is becoming more important than ever.
Organisations are being asked to do more with limited resources, navigate complex funding arrangements, and demonstrate accountability in an increasingly transparent environment.
Purposely’s work supports this shift by helping communities and the organisations that serve them better understand their finances — not just the numbers, but what they mean in practice. By making financial information clear, relevant, and accessible, we help leaders build confidence, plan for the future, and make informed decisions that benefit their people.
Strong financial literacy underpins sustainable organisations, local employment, and long-term community wellbeing. In today’s environment, it is a critical foundation for economic resilience, self-determination, and lasting impact across Western Australia’s most remote regions.
