We're Not Here to Sell You Dreams
Back in 2019, our founder Linnea Torvaldsen sat in a cramped Coffs Harbour office, frustrated with how financial services operated. Too many promises, not enough substance. That's when quarivonexo started taking shape.
We built this business around one simple idea: financial guidance should be honest, practical, and free from the usual rubbish. No magic formulas. No guaranteed overnight success. Just experienced people who understand Australian businesses because we've been working with them for years.
What Actually Matters to Us
These aren't corporate buzzwords we threw on a wall. They're the principles we argue about in meetings and use to make decisions when things get complicated.
Real Conversations
We talk to you like a human being. No jargon unless it's necessary, and even then we'll explain it. If something doesn't make sense for your business, we'll tell you straight.
Context First
Every business is different. A strategy that works for a retail operation in Sydney might be completely wrong for a service company in regional NSW. We dig into your actual situation before suggesting anything.
Long-Term Thinking
Quick fixes usually create bigger problems down the road. We focus on building systems that keep working after we're done, not temporary patches that fall apart in six months.
Honest Limitations
Sometimes the answer is that we're not the right fit. We'd rather point you toward someone who can genuinely help than take your money for something we can't deliver well.
How We Actually Got Here
Linnea spent eight years working for a major financial firm in Melbourne before moving to Coffs Harbour. The experience taught her what worked and, more importantly, what didn't. She saw too many small businesses getting cookie-cutter advice that ignored their reality.
The first year was rough. Building trust takes time, especially when you're the new operation in town. But word spread. Business owners talked to each other. By 2021, we were working with companies across NSW, then Queensland, then nationally.
We've grown to a team of eleven people now. Everyone here has at least five years of real experience. No fresh graduates learning on your dime. We bring in specialists when projects need specific expertise we don't have in-house.
How We Actually Work With You
This isn't a rigid process. Some clients need all five steps, others just need two. We adjust based on what makes sense for your situation.
Discovery Phase
We spend time understanding your business model, current financial setup, and what's actually keeping you up at night. This usually takes 2-3 meetings because surface-level information rarely tells the full story.
Analysis and Reality Check
Our team digs into your numbers, systems, and processes. We look for patterns, inefficiencies, and opportunities you might have missed. Then we present findings in plain language, not consultant-speak.
Strategy Development
Based on what we found, we create specific recommendations tailored to your business. Not generic advice pulled from a template. Actual strategies that account for your resources, timeline, and constraints.
Implementation Support
We help you put the plan into action. Sometimes that means hands-on assistance, sometimes it's coaching your team, sometimes it's connecting you with the right specialists. Depends on what you need.
Ongoing Refinement
Things change. Markets shift, regulations update, your business evolves. We check in regularly to adjust strategies as needed. Some clients want monthly reviews, others prefer quarterly. We follow your lead.
People You'll Actually Work With
These are the core team members who handle most client relationships. Everyone brings different experience to the table, which is exactly the point.
