We Build Financial Systems That Actually Scale
Most businesses hit a wall around the two-million mark. We noticed this back in 2022 when three of our founding partners were running separate consultancies. Each of us kept seeing the same pattern—capable teams, solid products, but financial structures that couldn't keep up.
Started in a Warehouse Office in Bendigo
We founded vorenquintal in early 2023 after realizing we kept referring clients to each other. Katrin Blomqvist handled cash flow architecture, Davinder Thakore specialized in scaling operations, and Elspeth Rafferty knew taxation structures inside out.
Rather than keep working separately, we rented space in an old warehouse on Garsed Street. The heating barely worked that first winter, but we had whiteboards covering three walls and a clear mission—help Australian businesses build financial systems that actually support growth instead of limiting it.
By mid-2024, we'd worked with 47 businesses across Victoria and New South Wales. Most came to us stuck between $1.5M and $3M in revenue, unable to scale without their financial operations collapsing.
How We Actually Work
These aren't aspirational values we put on the wall. This is how our team operates every week.
Real Numbers First
We start every engagement by looking at your actual financials—not projections or best-case scenarios. Davinder spent twelve years in manufacturing operations, so he knows the difference between accounting reports and operational reality. That perspective shapes how we approach every project.
Systems Over Advice
Anyone can tell you what's wrong. We build the systems that fix it. When a Perth logistics company came to us in late 2024, their invoicing took 16 days on average. We didn't write a report—we rebuilt their entire accounts receivable workflow. They're now at 6 days average, and it runs without constant supervision.
Built for Australian Markets
Our entire practice focuses on Australian business conditions. That means understanding BAS obligations, dealing with state-by-state payroll variations, and knowing how banks actually assess lending applications here. Elspeth worked eight years with the ATO before joining us, which gives our tax planning an edge most consultancies can't match.
Long-Term Partnerships
We don't do three-month projects and disappear. Most of our clients work with us for years because scaling isn't a one-time fix. As your business grows, your financial systems need to evolve. We stay involved through that process, adjusting structures as your needs change.
Growing From Three People to a Full Practice
We've built this practice deliberately, adding capability only when we found people who actually strengthened what we offer.
Foundation
Three partners, one shared office space, and eleven initial clients we'd worked with individually. We spent the first four months just documenting our different approaches and finding where they complemented each other.
First Team Addition
Brought on Linnea Wexler, who'd spent six years doing financial analysis for a national retail chain. She gave us perspective on inventory-heavy businesses that none of us had.
Operations Expansion
Hired our first operations specialist and moved to larger premises on the same street. We'd outgrown the warehouse space but wanted to stay in Bendigo rather than move to Melbourne.
Current Team
Now at nine people total, including two analysts, three implementation specialists, and support staff. We're still selective about who we work with—we turn down projects that don't fit our expertise rather than overextending.
