Making sense of numbers isn't just what we do
It's the only thing we think about, really.
Back in 2018, a small group of us were sitting in a cramped office in Pagewood, frustrated. Not with each other, but with how hard it was for everyday Australians to actually understand their financial data. Banks gave you statements. Accountants gave you spreadsheets. But nobody was giving you clarity.
So we started zorinthera with one simple goal: take the confusion out of financial data interpretation. No jargon. No corporate speak. Just honest help for people who want to make better decisions with their money.
What keeps us going
These aren't values we printed on posters. They're the stuff we actually argue about when making decisions.
Plain language wins every time
We've seen too many people nod along to financial advice they don't understand. If your grandmother wouldn't get it, we rewrite it. And yeah, we test this—our team's actual grandmothers have vetoed more than a few explanations over the years.
Your context matters more than formulas
Two people with identical income statements can have completely different needs. One might be planning for retirement, another juggling startup costs. We don't do cookie-cutter interpretations because your life doesn't fit a template.
We admit when it's complicated
Some financial situations are genuinely tricky. When that happens, we say so. No pretending everything's simple when it's not. But we'll work through the complexity with you until it makes sense.
Australian markets, Australian realities
Tax structures here work differently. Investment options aren't the same. Property markets have their own quirks. We're embedded in the Australian financial landscape, and that local knowledge shapes everything we analyze.

Financial Data Specialist
Eight years interpreting financial statements and still finding new patterns in the data.
How we actually work
Most of our clients come to us with a stack of documents and a nagging feeling that something important is hiding in the numbers. They're usually right. Not because there's fraud or errors—just because financial data rarely tells its story clearly on the first read.
Take last month. A small business owner came in with three years of profit-and-loss statements. On paper, the business looked healthy. But when we dug into the cash flow patterns and mapped them against industry benchmarks, we spotted a seasonal vulnerability that could've caused serious problems by late 2026.
That's the kind of interpretation that matters. Not dramatic discoveries, just careful attention to what the numbers are actually saying versus what they seem to say at first glance.
Areas where we spend most of our time:
- Cash flow analysis for small to medium businesses navigating growth phases
- Personal investment portfolio reviews for people planning major life transitions
- Tax structure optimization within Australian regulatory frameworks
- Debt management strategies tailored to individual circumstances and goals
- Retirement planning that accounts for current market conditions and realistic projections
Our team includes former accountants, data analysts who got tired of working in isolation, and a few people who just happen to see patterns where others see spreadsheets. Freya spent years in corporate finance before joining us in early 2024, and she's the one who redesigned how we present complex data comparisons.
We're based in Pagewood, but work with clients across Australia. Most initial consultations happen by video now, which works fine once we've established what you're trying to figure out. The important part isn't where we're sitting—it's whether we can help you understand what your financial data means for your specific situation.
Got numbers that need translating?
We're scheduling consultations for mid-2026 and beyond. No pressure, no sales pitch—just a conversation about whether we can help.
Get in touchThe honest bit about limitations
We're good at what we do, but we're not miracle workers. Here's what we can't do for you.
We can't predict market movements. We can't guarantee specific returns. And we definitely can't make your financial situation simpler than it actually is. What we can do is help you understand what you're looking at, spot things you might've missed, and give you enough clarity to make confident decisions. Sometimes that's worth more than promises nobody can keep.
