Financial Clarity Built on Real Experience
We started draventoisa in 2019 because we kept seeing the same problem: businesses making decisions with incomplete financial pictures.
After spending years helping organisations untangle budget risks that could have been spotted early, we decided to do something about it. Not with complex software or theoretical frameworks—but with straightforward assessment methods that actually work in the messy reality of business operations.
How We Got Here
Five years of learning what matters when your financial stability is on the line.
2019: The Beginning
Started with three people and a shared frustration about risk assessment tools that looked impressive but missed obvious problems. We built our first framework by reverse-engineering actual business failures—looking at what warning signs existed six months before things went wrong.
2021: Reality Check
The pandemic taught us more about financial resilience in eighteen months than we'd learned in years. Watched some businesses with perfect spreadsheets collapse while others with messy books survived. That changed how we think about what actually matters in budget planning.
2023: Growing Pains
Expanded to serve mid-sized operations across different sectors. Had to rebuild our approach when we realised manufacturing risks don't look anything like service industry risks. Humbling, but it made our methods stronger.
2025: Where We Are
Now working with businesses across Australia, helping them spot financial vulnerabilities before they become crises. We've refined our approach based on hundreds of real assessments, but we're still learning with every new client situation.
What Drives Our Work
Honest Assessment
We point out problems even when clients don't want to hear them. Sugar-coating budget risks doesn't help anyone when real money is at stake.
Practical Tools
Everything we develop gets tested in actual business scenarios. If it doesn't work on a Tuesday afternoon when things are chaotic, it doesn't make it into our methods.
Context Matters
Risk in a growing startup looks completely different from risk in an established manufacturer. We adjust our approach based on where you actually are, not where theory says you should be.
Plain Language
Financial jargon can hide problems rather than solve them. We explain findings in terms that make sense to people who aren't accountants.
Long View
Quick fixes usually create bigger problems later. We focus on building understanding so teams can spot issues themselves instead of relying on external audits.
Continuous Learning
Every assessment teaches us something. We update our methods based on what actually happens, not what textbooks predict.
People Behind the Work
Small team, diverse backgrounds. We learned budget risk management through different paths—corporate finance, startup chaos, government compliance, and operational turnarounds.
Callum Faulkner
Risk Assessment Lead
Spent twelve years working through business recoveries before joining draventoisa. Developed our vulnerability identification framework based on patterns he kept seeing in companies that ran into trouble.
Petra Lindqvist
Budget Analysis Director
Background in operational finance across three different industries. Knows what budget plans look like on paper versus how they actually play out when market conditions shift unexpectedly.
Our Assessment Process
We examine your financial structures from multiple angles to identify vulnerabilities you might have missed.
Working With Us
We're taking on new clients for assessments starting autumn 2025. If you're concerned about budget vulnerabilities but not sure where to start, we can help you figure out what matters most for your situation.
