Built on Real Experience, Not Empty Promises
We started solavirextan in 2019 after watching too many businesses struggle with financial decisions that nobody explained properly. Our approach? Break down complex financial patterns into something you can actually work with.
Years helping Australian businesses understand their financial position
What Happens When You Stop Guessing
Back in 2018, I spent three months helping a mate figure out why his profitable-looking business kept running out of cash. Turns out, reading a profit and loss statement doesn't tell you where your money actually goes. That experience stuck with me.
Most financial advice treats every business like it fits the same template. But a retail operation has completely different cash patterns than a service business. A manufacturer faces different pressures than a consultant. We focus on understanding these differences before suggesting anything.
Since launching in early 2019, we've worked with over 340 Australian businesses. Some needed help reading the warning signs in their numbers. Others wanted to understand if their growth plans made financial sense. We're not here to sell you complex financial products—just to help you see what your numbers are actually saying.
How We Actually Work
No jargon marathons. No one-size-fits-all templates. Just practical analysis that makes sense for your specific situation.
Pattern Recognition
We look at how money moves through your business over time. Where it comes from, where it goes, when gaps appear. Most problems show up as patterns before they become crises, and spotting them early gives you actual options instead of emergency reactions.
Context Over Theory
A consulting firm with six staff has different concerns than a retail shop with three locations. We spend time understanding how your business actually operates before suggesting anything. What works for one industry might be completely wrong for yours.
Plain Language Reporting
Financial reports full of technical terms don't help you make decisions. We explain what the numbers mean for your specific situation, using examples from your business. If you leave a meeting still confused about what you should do, we haven't done our job properly.
Realistic Timeframes
Financial stability doesn't happen overnight. We map out what changes might take three months, six months, or a year to implement properly. Rush jobs in financial management usually create more problems than they solve. Better to set expectations honestly from the start.
Callum Lindqvist
Founder & Lead Analyst
Started analyzing business finances after spending five years in commercial banking, where I watched countless viable businesses struggle because nobody explained what their numbers actually meant. Got tired of seeing people make decisions based on incomplete information.
These days I work with a small team that includes two financial analysts and a data specialist. We're based in Double Bay but work with businesses across Australia—mostly NSW and Victoria, though we've helped clients as far as Perth and Brisbane when the situation calls for remote analysis.
What keeps me interested is that every business presents different puzzles. Last month we helped a hospitality group understand why their busy season wasn't translating to better cash reserves. Two weeks before that, worked with a manufacturing business planning their equipment upgrade timeline. Same principles, completely different applications.

What We Stand For
-
Honesty About Limitations
Financial analysis can't predict the future. We can spot trends, identify risks, and suggest improvements—but anyone promising guaranteed outcomes is either lying or hasn't done this long enough to know better.
-
Time to Actually Listen
You know your business better than we ever will. Our job is to add financial perspective to what you already understand about your operations. That only works if we shut up and listen first.
-
No Artificial Urgency
Some situations genuinely need quick action. But most financial decisions benefit from taking time to think them through properly. We won't manufacture false deadlines to pressure you into moving faster than makes sense.
-
Practical Over Impressive
Complicated models and sophisticated analysis tools are useful—when they actually improve outcomes. But if a simple spreadsheet and clear explanation solve the problem, that's what we use. No need to overcomplicate things just to look clever.
Let's Look at Your Numbers Together
If you're trying to understand what your financial data actually means for your business decisions, we should talk. First conversation is always about listening to your situation—no sales pitch, no pressure to commit to anything.
