The Story Behind tarenqixa

We started with a simple observation: businesses were missing crucial financial opportunities because they couldn't see the bigger picture of their calendar year

Where It All Began

Back in 2019, I was helping a mate with his cafe's finances. He was stressed about cash flow, but when I looked at his situation, something jumped out. His busiest months were completely misaligned with his major expenses.

Tax payments hit right when revenue dipped. Equipment leases renewed during his slowest quarter. It wasn't a money problem — it was a timing problem.

That's when the lightbulb went off. What if businesses could see their entire financial year laid out visually? Not just budgets and forecasts, but the actual rhythm of when money moves in and out?

What Drives Us Forward

Clear Vision

We believe financial planning shouldn't require a crystal ball. Good timing comes from seeing patterns and preparing for what's actually coming.

Real Solutions

Every strategy we develop gets tested in the real world. If it doesn't work for actual businesses, it doesn't make it into our recommendations.

Honest Partnership

We're not here to oversell or promise miracles. Financial success comes from making smart decisions consistently over time.

Astrid Thornfield

Callum Weatherby

How We Work Together

Astrid handles the strategic side — she's the one who spots opportunities and potential problems months before they hit. Her background in corporate finance gives her a different perspective on how money really moves through businesses.

Callum takes those insights and turns them into practical calendar systems. He's obsessed with finding the right timing for everything, from tax payments to equipment purchases to staff bonuses.

Together, we've helped over 200 Australian businesses get their financial timing right. And honestly, that's made all the difference for most of them.

Why Calendar Planning Works

Most financial advice treats every month the same. But business isn't linear. December is different from March. Tax season changes everything. Holiday periods shift customer behavior.

When you map your finances to an actual calendar, patterns emerge. You start seeing opportunities instead of just reacting to problems. Cash flow becomes predictable rather than stressful.

Our clients often tell us it's the first time their financial planning felt realistic and manageable. That's exactly what we're after.

Looking Ahead

We're expanding our services throughout 2025, but we're staying focused on what works: practical financial calendar planning that helps Australian businesses thrive.

Every new client teaches us something. Every successful strategy gets refined and shared. And every conversation reminds us why we started doing this work in the first place.

Financial planning doesn't have to be complicated or stressful. Sometimes the best solutions are the ones that make perfect sense once you see them clearly.
