We Started with a Simple Question

Why do so many businesses struggle with spending when the answers are right there in their own data? Back in 2019, that question led three financial analysts to leave their corporate roles and try something different.

We'd spent years watching companies hemorrhage money on processes that could be streamlined, contracts that hadn't been reviewed in years, and subscriptions nobody remembered signing up for. The waste wasn't dramatic—it was mundane. And it was everywhere.

So we built olvenyqara around one straightforward idea: help businesses see where their money actually goes, then give them practical ways to keep more of it.

The Early Days Were Messy

Our first client was a mid-sized distributor in Sydney who was spending almost $180,000 annually on freight alone. They knew it was high but figured that's just how logistics worked.

We spent two weeks mapping their shipping patterns, comparing carrier rates, and analyzing delivery windows. Turns out they were using express services for non-urgent deliveries about 60% of the time. Nobody had questioned it because "that's what we've always done."

Within three months, we'd cut their freight costs by 34%. Not through anything revolutionary—just by matching urgency to service levels and consolidating shipments properly.

That project taught us something important: most budget waste isn't about bad decisions, it's about old decisions that nobody revisited. Companies set up systems, then forget to check if those systems still make sense.

By early 2021, we'd worked with seventeen businesses across manufacturing, retail, and professional services. Each one had different challenges, but the pattern was consistent—substantial savings were hiding in plain sight.

How We Actually Work

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches or expensive ongoing retainers. Here's what guides our process with every client.

Question Everything (Politely)

We ask "why" until we understand the real reason behind every expense. Sometimes there's a solid business case. Often there isn't. Either way, you'll know.

Show Your Numbers

Every recommendation comes with clear projections. We document current costs, expected savings, and implementation effort so you can make informed decisions.

Keep It Practical

Savings only matter if you can actually implement them. We focus on changes your team can execute without disrupting daily operations or requiring massive overhauls.

Our Four-Phase Method

Data Collection

We dig into your financial records, vendor contracts, and operational expenses. This takes about two weeks and requires cooperation from your accounting team.

Pattern Analysis

We map spending trends, identify anomalies, and compare your costs against industry benchmarks. This reveals where you're overpaying or underutilizing resources.

Strategy Development

We present specific recommendations ranked by potential impact and implementation difficulty. You choose which initiatives to pursue based on your priorities.

Implementation Support

We help negotiate new contracts, restructure processes, and train your team on new systems. Then we measure results to confirm the savings materialize.

Six Years of Learning

We've made plenty of mistakes and learned from each one. Here's how we've evolved since starting this business.

2019

Foundation

Three analysts left PwC to start olvenyqara. First office was Leah's spare bedroom in Canberra. Signed our first client in September—a packaging company bleeding money on warehouse space.

2021

Expansion

Moved to proper offices in Isabella Plains. Built our expense analysis software because manual spreadsheets couldn't scale. Started working with clients across three states.

Team collaboration on budget optimization projects

2024

Refinement

Launched our vendor benchmarking database after analyzing contracts from 200+ businesses. This lets us negotiate better rates for clients based on real market data instead of guesswork.
