Insights.
Finance advice that hits harder than your fifth flat white.
Welcome to the part of the site where we pretend people actually like reading about finance.
Tired of sugar-coated tips, polite platitudes and lukewarm “thought leadership”? So are we. Lucky for you, we write the way we think, slightly cynical, and painfully useful. Expect insights with the occasional gentle slap of reality (with love, obviously).
This isn’t some kumbaya corner of the internet where we whisper affirmations into your spreadsheets. This is where we drop the occasional “WTF were you thinking?” — all to help you clean up your processes, upgrade your finance function, understand your numbers and stress way less!
If you’re here for buzzwords and boardroom blah, you’re going to have a rough time. If you’re here to take control, gain confidence and laugh at the madness along the way, congrats, you’re in the right place!
We fix finance. We roast nonsense. We charge extra for therapy.
(Disclaimer: Occasionally, we’ll drop an article that doesn’t quite live up to the hype - because, let’s face it, sometimes the best advice is painfully boring. Don’t worry, we’ll add a snooze-fest ‘tag’ in case you’re in that post-lunch dip and flirting with an unscheduled siesta.)
