How We Got Started

Back in 2018, a small consulting group in Canberra noticed something odd. Business owners kept asking the same question during tax season: "Where did all our money go?" These weren't reckless spenders or failing companies. They were competent professionals who simply couldn't see their financial patterns clearly.

So we started running budget audits. Not the boring spreadsheet kind, but real conversations about spending habits, revenue cycles, and those sneaky costs that creep up. Turns out, when people actually understand their numbers, they make better decisions. Who knew?

Fast forward to 2025, and we're still doing the same thing. Just with better coffee and more experience under our belts.

What We Actually Do

Budget audit preparation isn't glamorous, but it's incredibly useful. Think of it as a health check for your finances.

Expense Pattern Analysis

We track where money flows in your business over three to six months. Not just categories, but actual patterns. Like that software subscription you forgot about, or the seasonal spike in shipping costs every December.

Revenue Stream Mapping

Most businesses have more income sources than they realize. We document everything, then show you which ones actually pay off and which ones eat up more time than they're worth.

Compliance Documentation

Tax time shouldn't be stressful. We organize your financial records so you can hand them to your accountant without anxiety. Receipts, invoices, bank statements—all sorted and ready.

The People Behind the Numbers

Two consultants with different backgrounds, one shared obsession with making finances less confusing.

Oskar Lindqvist

Lead Financial Consultant

Worked in corporate finance for eight years before getting tired of jargon. Now helps small businesses understand their numbers without the headache. Has a weird talent for spotting duplicate expenses.

Dimitri Vasiliou

Budget Analyst

Former accountant who realized he preferred helping people prepare for audits rather than conducting them. Specializes in untangling messy bookkeeping and creating systems that actually work for real humans.

Our Practical Approach

We start by looking at your last six months of financial activity. Bank statements, invoices, receipts—anything that shows money moving. Then we categorize everything into groups that make sense for your specific situation.

Next comes the pattern analysis. We identify trends, spot inconsistencies, and flag anything that looks unusual. Sometimes it's a legitimate business expense. Sometimes it's an error that's been repeating for months.

Finally, we prepare documentation that your accountant or auditor can actually use. Clear categories, proper receipts, logical organization. We also explain what we found, so you understand your own finances better going forward.

The whole process typically takes three to four weeks, depending on how organized your records are when we start. And yes, we've seen worse than whatever you're dealing with right now.
