We Build Financial Foundations That Actually Work

Started in 2018 because we got tired of seeing businesses struggle with overcomplicated budget systems that never matched reality. What began as a small consultancy in East London has grown into a trusted partner for companies across South Africa looking for honest financial guidance.

We're not here to sell you fancy software or promise overnight transformations. We help you understand where your money goes, why it matters, and how to make smarter decisions with the resources you have.

How We Started

The whole thing kicked off after watching too many capable business owners get buried under budget spreadsheets that made zero sense. You know the ones — fifty tabs deep, formulas nobody understands, and numbers that somehow never match your bank account.

We figured there had to be a better way. Something practical. Something that reflected how businesses actually operate, not how some textbook says they should.

So we started small — working with local businesses in East London, building budget frameworks that matched their reality, not some generic template. Word spread. People appreciated the straight talk and systems that didn't require a finance degree to understand.

Seven years later, we're still doing the same thing. Just with more clients and the same commitment to keeping things real.

What Drives Us

Honest Assessment

We tell you what we see, not what you want to hear. If your budget approach has gaps, we'll point them out. If something's working well, we'll say that too.

Practical Focus

Every recommendation we make has to work in the real world. We've seen too many theoretical strategies fall apart when they meet actual business conditions.

Long-Term Partnership

Financial strategy isn't a one-time fix. We're interested in relationships that last years, not quick projects that end when the invoice is paid.

Meet Our Lead Strategist

We keep our team deliberately small. Quality over quantity. You'll work directly with experienced professionals who've spent years in the trenches of financial planning.

Leander Fouche

Senior Financial Strategist

Started his career in corporate finance before realizing that most businesses needed practical guidance more than complex analysis. Spent over a decade helping companies build budget systems that actually get used.

His approach is straightforward — understand the business first, then build the financial framework around how it operates. No forcing square pegs into round holes.

Outside of work, Leander spends way too much time perfecting his braai technique and following cricket. He believes good financial strategy shares a lot with good cooking — proper preparation matters more than fancy tools.

Our Methodology

Understand Your Reality
We start by learning how your business actually works. Not how it should work according to some framework, but the real day-to-day operations, cash flow patterns, and decision-making processes.
Build Custom Framework
Based on what we learn, we develop a budget structure that fits your specific situation. Some businesses need detailed tracking, others benefit from broader categories. We adjust to what makes sense for you.
Test and Refine
Initial systems rarely work perfectly. We run your framework for a few months, identify friction points, and make adjustments. This iteration phase is where the real value gets built.
Transfer Knowledge
Our goal is to make ourselves less necessary over time. We teach your team how to maintain and evolve the system, so you're not dependent on consultants for basic financial management.

Let's Talk About Your Budget Strategy

Whether you're dealing with cash flow uncertainty, planning for growth, or just want a second opinion on your current approach, we're here to help. Initial conversations are straightforward and focused on understanding if we're a good fit.
