How the Edinburgh finance basics programme works.
ash-magpie is a paid education service focused on simple, repeatable financial habits. We deliver workshops, 1:1 sessions, and follow-up learning packs. Each service includes clear pricing so clients can choose the depth of support they want.
We translate city life into everyday decisions.
Edinburgh costs are not uniform. Renting, heating, and commuting can shift week to week. We build a cost map that reflects these changes so a budget does not feel like a guessing game.
Sessions use short, focused exercises rather than spreadsheets. People leave with a template, a month-by-month view, and a plan to check progress without constant tracking.
What a session includes.
Every workshop is structured around three outcomes: a realistic monthly plan, a list of upcoming costs, and a simple savings rhythm. The follow-up pack is optional and priced separately.
View full service detailsWe keep the learning human.
Instead of overwhelming dashboards, we use short summaries, plain-language budgeting steps, and Edinburgh-specific scenarios. This helps people practice decisions in context, which improves consistency.
Revenue comes from paid sessions and workshop packages, not advertising-driven upsells.
