Honest about what we are — and what we are not
We are not a financial adviser
SmiteBuilds provides general budgeting guidance and educational content. Nothing on this site constitutes financial, legal, or investment advice. We are here to help you organize your thinking — not to tell you what to do with your money.
We don't own or operate MoneyBoard
MoneyBoard is a third-party application. We have selected it as a recommended tool based on its privacy-friendly approach and offline capability, but we have no affiliation with its developers and receive no compensation for the recommendation.
Guided sessions are support — not coaching
Our optional booking sessions are setup and guidance support, not regulated financial coaching or counselling. Sessions help you organize your budget structure and establish a review routine.
Content is general and educational
Blog posts and guides on this site reflect general budgeting principles applicable to Canadian contexts. Individual financial situations vary — use our content as a starting point, not a prescription.
