Since 2019

We Turn Complex Financial Data Into Clear Business Insight

Started in a shared office space in Pagewood, we've grown into a team that actually cares about getting the numbers right. No fancy jargon. Just honest analysis that helps Australian businesses make smarter decisions about their money.

How We Got Here

Every business has a story. Ours started with a simple idea—what if financial analysis didn't have to feel so complicated?

2019

The Beginning

Founded by three analysts tired of seeing small businesses struggle with overly complex financial reports. We wanted to create something different—analysis that people could actually understand and use.

2021

Expanding Our Reach

Opened our Pagewood office and brought on specialists in retail and hospitality sectors. These industries move fast, and we learned how to keep up while maintaining accuracy.

2023

New Capabilities

Added cash flow forecasting and scenario planning to our services. Clients kept asking "what if" questions, so we built better tools to answer them properly.

2025

Where We Are Now

Working with over 140 businesses across NSW and Victoria. Our team has grown, but the mission stays the same—make financial data work harder for the people who rely on it.

Our Approach to Financial Analysis

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all reports. Every business operates differently, faces unique challenges, and needs specific insights.

When we take on a new client, the first thing we do is listen. What keeps you up at night? What decisions are you trying to make? What information would actually help you run things better?

Then we dig into the data. Not to create impressive-looking charts, but to find patterns and trends that matter to your specific situation.

One retail client told us they didn't need another dashboard—they needed to know whether opening a second location would work. So that's what we focused on. Six months of revenue patterns, seasonal variations, staffing costs, and realistic projections. They opened the new store in March 2025, and it's tracking ahead of our conservative estimates.

The People Behind the Analysis

We're a mix of accountants, data analysts, and industry specialists who share one thing—we're all a bit obsessive about getting the details right.

Callum Thistlewood, Lead Financial Analyst

Callum Thistlewood

Lead Financial Analyst

Spent eight years at a big consulting firm before realizing he preferred working directly with business owners. Callum specializes in cash flow forecasting and has a talent for explaining complex financial concepts without the MBA speak.

Outside work, he's usually cycling somewhere around Botany Bay or trying new coffee spots in the eastern suburbs.

Industry-Specific Knowledge

Our analysts focus on particular sectors—retail, hospitality, professional services. This means we understand the specific financial challenges and opportunities in your industry, not just general accounting principles.

Practical Experience

Half our team has worked in operational roles before moving into financial analysis. They've managed budgets, dealt with suppliers, and faced the same decisions you're facing now.

Ongoing Learning

Financial regulations change. Market conditions shift. We dedicate time each month to professional development—not because we have to, but because staying current is part of doing the job properly.

Real Projects, Real Results

These aren't polished case studies. They're actual situations where our analysis made a tangible difference to how a business operates.

The Inventory Problem

Independent Bookstore | 2024

A bookstore in Newtown was struggling with cash flow. They knew inventory was the issue but couldn't pinpoint exactly what was going wrong.

We spent two weeks analyzing their purchase patterns, sales velocity by category, and seasonal trends going back three years.

The Finding:

They were consistently over-ordering in certain genres based on what they personally liked reading, not what actually sold. We helped them implement a data-driven ordering system.

Expansion Timing

Café Chain | 2023-2025

A successful café wanted to expand from two locations to five within two years. The owners had the ambition and the locations lined up, but needed to know if the timing made sense financially.

We built detailed financial models for each potential location, factoring in local competition, foot traffic data, and realistic ramp-up periods.

The Recommendation:

Open two locations in year one, then reassess. They followed this approach, and both new stores reached profitability within eight months. They're now planning the fourth location for late 2025.

Pricing Strategy Overhaul

Professional Services Firm | 2024

A consulting firm hadn't adjusted their pricing structure in five years. They were busy but profit margins were shrinking, and they couldn't figure out why.

Our analysis revealed their hourly rates were competitive, but their service packages weren't accounting for actual time costs on recent projects.

The Solution:

We helped them restructure three main service offerings based on realistic time investments. Revenue stayed steady while profit margins improved by 18% over the following six months.

Seasonal Cash Flow Planning

Tourism Business | 2023-2024

A tourism operator in the eastern suburbs faced dramatic seasonal fluctuations. Winter was slow, summer was busy, but they struggled to maintain stable cash flow year-round.

We analyzed three years of data and created a cash reserve strategy that accounted for their specific seasonal patterns.

The Outcome:

They now maintain adequate reserves during peak season to cover slower months without stress. Winter 2024 was their first off-season without needing to tap into personal savings or credit lines.
