We're not just statement readers. We're the folks who spent years sorting through messy spreadsheets, reconciling accounts that didn't want to balance, and learning what actually matters when you're trying to understand a company's financial health.
Started out in 2018 when Lachlan noticed something weird. Businesses across Coffs Harbour kept making the same mistakes reading their financial statements. They'd focus on the wrong metrics, miss obvious warning signs, or worse—trust analysis that looked professional but missed critical context.
So we built something different. Not another generic consulting firm, but a team that actually explains what your statements mean in plain language. We've worked with manufacturing companies, retail operations, service businesses—pretty much anyone who needs to understand where their money's going.
By early 2024, we'd helped over 180 businesses in NSW alone make better decisions based on their financial data. Now in 2025, we're focusing on training programmes that help business owners read their own statements with confidence.
We keep our team small on purpose. Everyone here has done actual financial analysis work—not just managed teams or sold services. When you ask a question, you're talking to someone who's solved that exact problem before.
Worked in corporate finance for eight years before starting tuvionthara. Got tired of producing reports nobody understood. Now spends most days explaining why working capital matters more than people think and helping clients spot cash flow problems before they become serious.
Joined us in 2022 after running his own retail business into the ground—his words, not ours. Learned financial analysis the hard way and now teaches others how to avoid his mistakes. Runs our workshops and somehow makes balance sheets less boring than they sound.
We're not big on corporate mission statements. But after working with hundreds of clients, some patterns emerged about what actually helps people understand their finances better.
Financial jargon exists for a reason, but you shouldn't need a finance degree to understand your own statements. We explain things like you're having coffee with a colleague, not sitting in an accounting lecture.
A ratio means nothing without context. We look at your industry, your specific situation, and what you're trying to achieve. The same metric can be good news for one business and a warning sign for another.
We don't do theoretical analysis. Every insight needs to connect to a real decision you're making—whether that's hiring, investing in equipment, or figuring out pricing. If it doesn't help you run your business better, what's the point?
Sure, we can analyse your statements for you. But we'd rather teach you how to do it yourself. Give you the tools to spot problems early and ask the right questions of your accountant or bookkeeper.
Financial statements don't tell you everything. They can't predict the future or account for market changes. We're upfront about what the numbers can and can't tell you—and when you need additional information to make good decisions.
Quick fixes rarely work in finance. We focus on building understanding that lasts, not just solving today's problem. The goal is to make us less necessary over time as you get better at reading your own data.
If you're struggling to make sense of your financial statements or want to learn how to analyse them properly, get in touch. We run workshops starting September 2025 and work with individual businesses year-round.
