We Turn Numbers Into Clarity
Since 2017, we've helped Australian businesses cut through financial complexity and focus on what drives real growth. No jargon, no guesswork—just practical analysis that actually supports better decisions.
How We Got Started
lathorivexo began when two accountants got frustrated with how complicated financial advice had become. Businesses needed straightforward analysis, not twenty-page reports they'd never read.
We started small—working with family businesses in Castle Hill who needed honest guidance during expansion decisions. They didn't want fancy forecasts. They wanted someone to explain whether their numbers made sense before committing to major investments.
That's still what we do. We've grown to work with mid-sized companies across New South Wales, but the approach hasn't changed. We look at your financials, spot what matters, and explain it in plain language you can actually use.
What Guides Our Work
These aren't corporate values we put on a wall. They're practical commitments that shape how we handle every client engagement.
Data Before Opinions
We build recommendations on actual numbers from your business. When market trends matter, we say so—but your specific financials always come first in our analysis.
Context Over Templates
Manufacturing businesses face different challenges than professional services. We adjust our approach based on your industry, not force you into standardised frameworks.
Clarity Without Dumbing Down
Financial concepts can be complex, but explanations don't need to be. We translate accounting terminology into practical language while respecting your intelligence.
Honest About Limits
When our analysis reaches uncertainty, we say so. Some business questions don't have clear financial answers—and pretending otherwise doesn't help anyone.
Detail When It Matters
We don't overwhelm you with every data point. But when a specific number reveals something important about your operations, we dig into it properly.
Partnership Not Hierarchy
You know your business better than we ever will. Our financial expertise works best when combined with your operational knowledge, not imposed over it.
Who You'll Work With
Our team combines formal accounting credentials with experience across different business sectors. We've handled everything from retail expansions to manufacturing efficiency reviews.
Callum Bannister
Senior Financial Analyst
Callum spent eight years in corporate finance before joining lathorivexo in 2019. He specialises in cash flow analysis for businesses planning significant equipment investments or facility upgrades.
"Most financial mistakes happen during growth phases. Companies get excited about expansion and skip the boring parts—like checking if their cash reserves can actually handle the transition period."
Freya Lindqvist
Business Finance Consultant
Freya worked with professional service firms for a decade before bringing that expertise to lathorivexo in 2021. She helps businesses understand their cost structures when considering new service offerings or market segments.
"Service businesses often underestimate the hidden costs of scaling. The direct expenses are obvious, but the administrative overhead and quality control requirements catch people off guard."
Our Process in Practice
We don't follow rigid methodologies that ignore your specific situation. Instead, we adapt our analysis based on what your business actually needs.
Most engagements start with understanding your immediate decision. Are you evaluating a supplier contract? Considering new equipment? Planning seasonal hiring? The question shapes our approach.
Real Work We've Done
In 2024, a manufacturing client was considering automation equipment. The supplier's ROI projections looked attractive, but they asked us to verify the numbers before committing.
We analysed their production costs, downtime patterns, and labour allocation. The equipment would improve efficiency—but not as dramatically as the vendor claimed, and the payback period was actually eighteen months longer than their estimates.
The client proceeded anyway, but negotiated better terms and adjusted their cash flow planning accordingly. Six months in, they're tracking close to our projections rather than being disappointed by unmet expectations.
That's typical of what we do. Sometimes our analysis supports moving forward with a decision. Sometimes it suggests reconsidering. Either way, you're working with realistic numbers instead of optimistic guesses.
