Real Experience, Honest Advice

We've been helping Australian businesses make sense of their financial presentations since 2019. No fancy promises — just practical support from people who understand the challenges you face every day.

Started from Real Problems

Back in early 2025, I was sitting in yet another boardroom watching executives struggle with slides that made perfect sense to them but left investors confused. The numbers were solid, the strategy was sound, but the presentation? That's where everything fell apart.

It reminded me of my own early days pitching to venture capital firms in Sydney. I had three minutes to explain why our fintech startup deserved funding, and I spent two of them fumbling through charts that looked impressive but told no story.

"The best financial presentation isn't the one with the most data — it's the one that makes complex numbers feel like a conversation between people who trust each other."

zenorapalios grew from those frustrating moments. We focus on the gap between having good financial insights and being able to share them effectively. Most consultancies either focus on the numbers or the design. We think both matter, but more importantly, we think the story between them matters most.

What We Actually Do

I'm Thorben Kelloway, and I've spent the past six years helping Australian companies turn their financial reports into presentations that boards, investors, and stakeholders actually understand. Before zenorapalios, I worked at two mid-sized accounting firms and learned something important: technical accuracy means nothing if your audience walks away confused.

We work with companies across NSW and Queensland, mostly manufacturing and service businesses with annual revenues between M and M. These aren't startups looking for flashy pitch decks — they're established businesses that need to communicate financial performance clearly and confidently.

Investor updates that focus on performance stories, not just number dumps
Budget presentations that help teams understand priorities and trade-offs
Stakeholder reports that build confidence rather than raise more questions

How We Work Together

Every business tells its financial story differently. We don't use templates because your challenges aren't template challenges. Here's how we typically approach a new project:

Understanding Your Audience

We start by figuring out who actually sits in your presentations and what they care about. A bank loan officer needs different information than your board of directors.

Finding Your Financial Story

Your numbers already tell a story — we help you find it and organize it so it makes sense to people who don't live in spreadsheets every day.

Building Presentations That Work

We create templates and frameworks you can actually use long after our project ends. No fancy graphics that break when you update the data.

Ready to Make Your Numbers Tell Better Stories?

Most of our engagements start with a conversation about what's not working in your current presentations. No sales pitch — just an honest discussion about whether we can help.
