Making Sense of Working Capital
We started tekravoquin back in 2019 because we kept seeing the same problem. Business owners would come to us frustrated—not because their companies were failing, but because they couldn't figure out why cash wasn't flowing the way it should.
Turns out, having strong sales doesn't mean much if your money's tied up in inventory or you're waiting 60 days to get paid. And most financial tools weren't built to help with that specific headache.
How We Got Here
The founding team spent years in traditional accounting firms across Queensland. We watched countless businesses struggle with the gap between what their P&L showed and what their bank account actually had available.
What bothered us most was how working capital analysis was treated like this mysterious, complex thing that only CFOs of big corporations could understand. But really? It's just tracking where your money goes between when you spend it and when you collect it.
So we built something different. Not another bookkeeping platform or generic financial dashboard—but a focused tool that helps you understand your cash conversion cycle and actually do something about it.
2019
Started with three partners and one question: why is cash flow analysis so complicated when it doesn't need to be?
2021
Launched our first working capital dashboard after testing with 15 Gold Coast businesses who gave us honest feedback
2023
Added industry benchmarking because clients kept asking how they compared to similar businesses
2025
Now working with over 200 Australian businesses to help them understand where their cash actually goes
The People Behind the Platform
We're a small team based in Surfers Paradise. No corporate offices in Sydney or Melbourne—just people who understand Queensland business operations because we've lived them.
Fionnuala Kerr
Chief Financial Analyst
Spent 12 years at mid-tier accounting firms before joining tekravoquin. Gets excited about finding patterns in accounts receivable data—which sounds boring until you realize those patterns can save a business thousands in tied-up cash.
Alastair Pemberton
Operations Director
Ran his own distribution business for eight years before selling it. Knows exactly what it's like to stare at inventory that won't move while suppliers are asking for payment. Now he helps our clients avoid making the same mistakes he did.
Clear Over Clever
We could use fancy financial jargon to sound impressive. But we'd rather explain things in plain language so you actually understand what's happening with your cash.
Practical Not Perfect
Academic models are great for textbooks. Real businesses need analysis that works with messy data and tight deadlines—which is what we focus on.
Context Matters
A 45-day collection period might be terrible for one industry and excellent for another. We don't give you generic benchmarks—we compare you to businesses that actually operate like yours.
How We Actually Work
Most financial consulting feels like a black box—you submit your numbers and get back a report full of charts you don't quite understand. We take a different approach. You see exactly what we're analysing, why it matters, and what specific changes might improve your cash position.
We Start With Your Actual Numbers
No hypotheticals or textbook examples. We connect directly to your accounting system and work with your real data—including the messy parts. Then we help you understand what those numbers actually mean for your cash position over the next 30, 60, and 90 days.
Compare Against Businesses Like Yours
A retail business and a consulting firm have completely different working capital needs. We maintain industry-specific benchmarks so you can see how your inventory turnover, payment terms, and collection periods stack up against similar operations in Australia. Makes the analysis actually useful instead of just interesting.
Focus on Changes You Can Control
Some factors affecting your working capital you can't change—like industry payment norms or seasonal demand patterns. We skip the theoretical and focus on practical adjustments: which customers you might need to chase harder, whether your inventory levels make sense, or if your payment terms are costing you cash unnecessarily.
Regular Check-ins Not One-Off Reports
Working capital isn't something you fix once and forget about. Your cash cycle changes as your business grows or market conditions shift. We track key metrics monthly so you can spot problems early—like when your collection period starts creeping up or inventory starts accumulating faster than sales.
