We Started Because Something Felt Broken
Back in 2019, I watched three solid businesses close their doors within six months of each other. Not because they lacked customers or made bad products. They simply ran out of cash at the wrong moment.
That's when omeralentis began. Not with a grand plan, but with a simple observation—most business owners we met were flying blind when it came to their actual cash position.
Starting From Real Problems
I'd spent years working in corporate finance where forecasting and modelling were second nature. But when I started consulting with smaller businesses around Banora Point and the Northern Rivers, I found a different world entirely.
These weren't careless people. They were smart operators who knew their industries inside out. But they'd been told that good bookkeeping and annual tax returns were enough. Turns out that's like driving by checking your rear-view mirror.
So we built something different. Not another accounting firm charging by the hour for historical data. A practical service that helps business owners see what's actually coming.
What Drives Our Work
We've learned these principles through mistakes, late-night calls with stressed clients, and watching what actually works when pressure hits.
Straight Talk Only
No jargon walls. We explain financial concepts using plain language because confusion helps nobody. If you don't understand something we've said, that's our failure, not yours.
Forward Focus
Your past numbers matter, but only as context. We spend our energy helping you understand what's coming in the next 90 days because that's where you can still make decisions.
Real Relationships
We don't do one-size-fits-all templates. Each business faces unique timing challenges and seasonal patterns. Understanding your specific situation takes time and actual conversation.
How We Actually Help
These aren't services from a brochure. They're the solutions that emerged from years of working with businesses facing real cash flow challenges.
Cash Position Clarity
Most business owners check their bank balance and think they know where they stand. But that number doesn't show the invoices due next week or the tax payment coming next month.
We build rolling 13-week cash forecasts that show your true position. Not academic projections—actual working tools you can trust when making decisions about hiring, inventory, or expansion.
Timing Pattern Analysis
Every business has rhythm—seasonal peaks, payment cycles, recurring expenses. But these patterns aren't always obvious when you're in the daily grind.
We map your specific cash timing patterns so you can see the crunch points before they arrive. This visibility alone has prevented dozens of unnecessary stress spirals.
Decision Support
The real value isn't in the spreadsheets we build. It's in the conversations they enable.
When you're considering a new lease, hiring additional staff, or pursuing a large contract, we model the cash impact. Not to tell you what to do, but to show you what each option actually means for your cash position over the next six months.
Who You'll Actually Work With
Small team, intentionally. We could scale faster, but that would mean template solutions and offshore support. Not our style.
Callum Thornbury
Principal Consultant
Started omeralentis after a decade in corporate finance made me realise small businesses deserved better cash management tools. I live in Banora Point with my family and still remember every business I've seen struggle with preventable cash crunches. That memory keeps me focused on practical solutions over theoretical perfection.
Viktor Lindqvist
Cash Flow Specialist
Joined omeralentis in early 2023 after working with construction and retail businesses across the Northern Rivers. I specialise in seasonal business patterns because I learned forecasting the hard way—by getting it wrong and watching clients scramble. Now I build models that account for the messy reality of how cash actually moves through different business types.
Let's Talk About Your Situation
We typically start with a straightforward conversation about your current cash visibility and what keeps you up at night financially. No sales pitch—just an honest discussion about whether we might be useful to you.
