We Started Because Numbers Weren't Adding Up

Back in 2017, a small manufacturing business in regional Victoria asked us a simple question: why do profitable companies run out of cash? That conversation changed everything.

Financial statements tell stories. But most business owners we met couldn't read them properly. Not because they weren't smart enough – the opposite, actually. They were too busy running their operations to decode accounting jargon.

We'd spent years in corporate finance roles, analyzing statements for banks and investment firms. The tools existed. The knowledge was there. But somewhere between big accounting firms and small business owners, translation got lost.

So we built tarenquixal around a different idea: make financial analysis accessible without dumbing it down. Real insights, plain language, practical application.

How We Actually Work

Most financial analysis feels like reading a foreign language textbook. We think it should feel more like having coffee with someone who genuinely cares about your business.

What We Bring

Our analysts average fourteen years in commercial finance. Not academic theory – real experience with businesses that faced actual challenges. Cash crunches. Growth decisions. Exit planning.

We use the same analytical frameworks that investment analysts and CFOs rely on. Ratio analysis. Trend identification. Peer benchmarking. But we explain findings without assuming you memorized accounting textbooks.

Our reports include: Clear explanations of what numbers mean, why they matter for your specific situation, and what actions might improve them. No jargon dumps. No obvious observations that waste your time.

What Makes It Different

Standard financial reports focus on compliance. Ours focus on decisions. When you're considering expansion, evaluating supplier terms, or just wondering if this quarter was actually good – that's when analysis matters.

We compare your metrics against industry standards, but context matters more than benchmarks. A 45-day receivables cycle might be excellent for construction but terrible for retail. We account for that.

Typical engagement: You send statements. We analyze for 3-5 business days. Then we walk through findings via video call or detailed written report – your choice. Follow-up questions included, not extra.
