Built on Real Experience

Six years ago, we started with a simple observation: most businesses struggle with budget deviations not because they lack data, but because they can't interpret what their numbers are actually telling them.

The Story Behind Our Approach

Back in 2019, I was working with a Perth manufacturing company that was consistently running 40% over budget on their quarterly projections. The problem wasn't their forecasting tools or their team's competence – it was that nobody could quickly identify which specific cost centers were driving the variance.

We spent three weeks building a custom analysis framework that broke down their budget deviations into digestible, actionable insights. Within six months, they'd reduced their variance to under 15%. That's when we realised this wasn't just one company's problem.

"Every business has budget deviations. The difference between success and struggle is understanding exactly where those deviations come from and what to do about them."

Who's Behind the Analysis

Our approach comes from practical experience rather than academic theory. We've been where you are – trying to make sense of budget numbers that don't add up.

Fletcher Sinclair

Lead Financial Analyst

Before mervanqielo, Fletcher spent eight years as a financial controller for manufacturing companies across WA, where he regularly dealt with budget overruns and variance headaches. He developed our core analysis methods while solving real problems for real businesses.

Fletcher's background includes working directly with business owners who needed clear answers about where their budgets were going wrong – and more importantly, what they could actually do about it.

Data That Makes Sense

We translate complex variance data into clear, actionable insights that business owners can actually use to make better financial decisions.

Practical Speed

Our analysis methods are designed for business reality – quick enough to be relevant, thorough enough to be reliable, simple enough to implement.

Real-World Focus

Every method we use has been tested with actual Australian businesses facing genuine budget challenges, not theoretical scenarios.
