Our Journey in Financial Progress
Seven years ago, we started with a simple belief: every business deserves clear, actionable insights into their financial growth. Today, we help Australian companies measure what matters most.
The Beginning
Started as a small consultancy after witnessing too many businesses struggle with unclear financial metrics. Our founder, Marcus, had spent years watching companies make decisions based on incomplete data. The first year was tough — we had three clients and worked from a shared office space in Wagga Wagga.
Pandemic Pivot
When COVID hit, everything changed. Businesses needed financial clarity more than ever, but traditional methods weren't working. We developed our first digital tracking system out of necessity. What started as a survival tool became the foundation of our current methodology. Client retention jumped to 89% that year.
Regional Expansion
Opened our second location and expanded across NSW. The breakthrough came when we realized that rural and regional businesses had unique financial challenges that city-based consultants often missed. Our regionalized approach helped 47 businesses improve their financial tracking systems.
Today
We've helped over 200 Australian businesses implement effective progress measurement systems. Our team has grown to eight specialists, and we're working on new methodologies for emerging industries. The focus remains the same: practical, measurable financial progress for real businesses.
Meet Our Founder
Marcus brings fifteen years of financial analysis experience to carenthazilo. Before starting the company, he worked with mid-sized manufacturers across regional Australia, helping them navigate complex financial reporting requirements.
What frustrated him most was seeing capable businesses held back by poor financial visibility. "You can't improve what you can't measure accurately," became his driving philosophy. That's why every methodology we develop focuses on clarity first, complexity second.
What Guides Us
Practical Solutions
We believe financial tracking should be straightforward, not overwhelming. Every system we recommend has been tested with real businesses facing real challenges.
Regional Understanding
Rural and regional businesses operate differently from city companies. We've built our expertise around the unique challenges of Australian regional commerce.
Long-term Relationships
Financial progress isn't a one-time fix. We work alongside businesses for years, adjusting strategies as they grow and market conditions change.
Transparent Communication
No jargon, no hidden fees, no confusing reports. We explain everything in plain English because financial clarity starts with clear communication.
How We Work With You
Every engagement follows a proven three-phase approach that's evolved through years of working with Australian businesses of all sizes.
Financial Health Assessment
We spend time understanding your current systems, identifying gaps, and mapping out your specific measurement needs. This usually takes 2-3 weeks of careful analysis.
Custom System Design
Based on our assessment, we design tracking systems that fit your workflow and industry requirements. Implementation happens gradually to minimize disruption to daily operations.
Ongoing Monitoring & Refinement
Financial tracking evolves with your business. We provide regular check-ins, system updates, and strategic adjustments as your company grows and market conditions shift.
