Numbers That Actually Tell Your Business Story

Running a business in Central Queensland means dealing with real pressures. You're watching costs, managing cash flow, trying to figure out if that expansion makes sense. We work with businesses here in Rockhampton and across the region to turn their financial data into practical decisions they can act on.

When Your Reports Aren't Helping Anymore

Most business owners we meet have plenty of reports. Monthly statements from their accountant, bank balances, sales summaries. But when it comes time to make a call about hiring someone new or investing in equipment, those reports don't quite answer the question.

That's where we come in. We take your existing numbers and rebuild them around the specific decisions you're facing. Not generic dashboards or one-size-fits-all templates.

One client needed to know whether opening a second location made financial sense. Their P&L didn't tell them that. We modeled out their fixed costs, variable expenses, and cash flow timing. Turned out the answer was yes, but six months later than they'd planned.

How We Actually Do This

Three straightforward steps that get you from scattered numbers to clear direction

1

We Sit Down and Listen

First conversation is always about your business, not ours. What decisions are keeping you up at night? Where do you want to be in two years? What's working and what feels risky?

2

We Build Your Model

Using your actual numbers, we create financial models tailored to your specific situation. Not generic templates. We're looking at your cash conversion cycle, your margin structure, your seasonal patterns.

3

We Walk Through It Together

No jargon-filled reports dropped in your inbox. We sit with you and explain what the numbers mean for your decision. You'll leave knowing what to do next and why.

Real Businesses, Real Decisions

A manufacturing client came to us in early 2024 facing a supplier problem. Their main vendor wanted payment terms shortened from 60 to 30 days. Sounded manageable on paper, but they weren't sure what it would do to their working capital.

We mapped their entire cash cycle, from when they paid for materials to when customers paid them. Turned out the new terms would create a significant cash gap during their busy season, right when they needed flexibility most.

Solution wasn't refusing the vendor's terms. We found a middle ground by negotiating partial early payments with their largest customers in exchange for a small discount. Their cash position actually improved.

We were looking at three different growth paths and couldn't figure out which one made financial sense. arariusium didn't just run the numbers, they helped us understand what each option really meant for our cash flow and risk profile. Six months into our expansion now and we're tracking exactly where they said we'd be.
