Work Where Numbers Tell Stories
We spend our days figuring out why budgets drift and helping businesses course-correct. It's detective work with spreadsheets. And yeah, we actually enjoy it.

How We Actually Work
Most finance teams chase variances after they happen. We built a method that spots them forming—before they become problems that need explaining to boards.
Pattern Recognition
We track spending behavior across departments and flag when patterns shift. Sometimes it's seasonal. Sometimes someone approved purchases they shouldn't have.
Root Cause Mapping
Every variance has a story. We dig through transaction histories, interview stakeholders, and reconstruct what actually happened versus what was supposed to happen.
Real-Time Alerts
Our system watches for thresholds you define. When something crosses those lines, relevant people get notified immediately—not three weeks later during month-end close.
What Makes Our Approach Different
After years of cleaning up budget messes for mid-sized Australian businesses, we realized most variance problems stem from timing gaps and unclear ownership. So we built our methodology around fixing those two things specifically.
- We assign dollar-level accountability to specific approvers, so there's never confusion about who authorized what spend
- Our forecasting models pull from actual transaction patterns rather than optimistic spreadsheet projections
- We run weekly pulse checks instead of waiting for monthly closes, catching drift while it's still manageable
- Every analysis includes plain-English summaries that non-finance stakeholders can actually understand
- We track correction velocity—how quickly teams respond when variances appear—and help improve those response times
This isn't revolutionary stuff. It's just disciplined attention to details that usually get overlooked until they become expensive problems.

Seren Clarke
Senior Variance Analyst
"I joined in early 2023 after working in corporate FP&A. What I appreciate here is the direct impact—when I spot a variance pattern and help a client fix it, I can see the immediate result in their next month's numbers. Plus, the work is genuinely interesting. Every client has different spending behaviors, so you're constantly solving new puzzles."
