We started dravionethis in 2018 because too many businesses were drowning in data but starving for insights. Seven years later, we're still obsessed with turning complex financial information into clear answers that help people make better decisions.
Back in 2017, I spent six months helping a property developer understand why their projects kept running over budget. The data was there. All of it. Spreadsheets upon spreadsheets of numbers that told a story nobody could read.
That's when it clicked. Most financial analysis fails not because the maths is wrong, but because it doesn't answer the actual questions people have. So we built dravionethis around a different idea: start with what someone needs to know, then figure out how to show them.
We've been refining that approach since 2018, working with businesses across Australia who need financial insights they can actually act on. Sometimes that means complex market modelling. Other times it's as simple as showing someone where their money's really going.
These aren't corporate values we stuck on a wall. They're the things we actually care about when we're knee-deep in someone's financial data at 3pm on a Wednesday.
Anyone can make finance look complicated. We take pride in making complex analysis understandable without dumbing it down. Your business deserves insights you can use, not jargon you need a dictionary to decode.
A number without context is just noise. We spend time understanding your specific situation because market analysis that works for retail doesn't work for manufacturing. Your business isn't a template, and neither is our approach.
Sometimes the data tells you what you hoped. Other times it doesn't. We present findings as they are, not as you might want them to be. Building trust means being straight with people, even when it's uncomfortable.
We're a small team, which means you'll actually work with the people doing the analysis. No passing you down a chain of assistants. When you call with a question, you get someone who knows your numbers.
Both of us came from traditional finance backgrounds where presentations mattered more than substance. We started dravionethis to do things differently.
Senior Financial Analyst
Spent a decade at major banks before realizing most financial advice was solving the wrong problems. Now focuses on helping businesses understand what their numbers actually mean for decision-making.
Market Research Director
Background in economic research and market analysis across property, retail, and manufacturing sectors. Believes the best analysis starts with asking better questions, not just crunching more data.
Every analysis project starts with a conversation, not a questionnaire. We need to understand what decision you're trying to make, what's keeping you up at night, and what you already know isn't working.
From there, we dig into your data, supplement it with relevant market research, and build analysis that addresses your actual questions. No template reports. No cookie-cutter approaches.
We're not here to impress you with fancy models. We're here to help you make better financial decisions with confidence. That means analysis you can understand, insights you can act on, and straight talk when you need it.
If you're tired of financial reports that look impressive but don't actually help, we should talk. Initial consultations are straightforward conversations about what you need and whether we're the right fit.
