Building Financial Partnerships That Actually Work

We've spent six years learning what makes business relationships succeed—and what makes them fail spectacularly.

How We Got Here

Starting tavorineos wasn't planned. It happened because we kept seeing the same problems everywhere we looked.

2019

The Frustrating Beginning

Henrik left investment banking after watching too many promising partnerships collapse because nobody talked about the real issues. Started consulting independently, mostly fixing other people's mistakes.

2021

Finding Our Focus

Callum joined after years of untangling messy financial operations. We realised we worked well together because we both prefer honest conversations over polite corporate speak.

2023

Learning What Works

Helped 47 Australian businesses through various partnership challenges. Started noticing patterns in what actually creates lasting business relationships versus what just sounds good in meetings.

2025

Today

We're still here because our approach works. Not for everyone—but for businesses ready to have real conversations about money, expectations, and what partnership actually means.

What We Actually Do

Most financial consultants talk in vague terms about "solutions." We prefer being specific about what we can and can't help with.

Partnership Structure Design

We map out how money flows, who makes which decisions, and what happens when things go wrong. Because they will, and planning for that upfront saves relationships.

Financial Health Assessment

We dig into your numbers to understand what's really happening with cash flow, profitability, and operational efficiency. Then we explain it in plain English.

Dispute Resolution Support

When business partnerships hit rough patches—and most do—we help navigate those conversations before they turn into legal battles nobody wins.

Growth Strategy Implementation

We work with you to identify realistic growth opportunities and create actionable plans. No pie-in-the-sky projections, just practical steps forward.

The People Behind tavorineos

We're not trying to be the biggest financial consultancy. We're trying to be the one you'd actually want to work with when things get complicated.

Henrik Thornfield

Strategic Partnership Director

Spent eight years in investment banking before getting tired of deals that looked good on paper but fell apart in practice. Now focuses on building partnerships that actually last. Has an annoying habit of asking difficult questions early in conversations.

Callum Whitlock, Financial Operations Specialist at tavorineos

Callum Whitlock

Financial Operations Specialist

Chartered accountant who specialises in making financial operations actually work efficiently. Believes most business problems can be traced back to unclear processes or poor communication. Probably right about that.

"We work with clients who prefer honest feedback over reassuring platitudes. If you want someone to tell you everything's fine when it isn't, we're probably not a good fit."

What We Stand For

Our approach to business relationships is based on a few principles that guide every client interaction.

Honest Communication

We tell you what we see, not what we think you want to hear. This includes pointing out potential problems before they become expensive mistakes.

Practical Solutions

Every recommendation we make has to work in the real world of your business. Theoretical perfection doesn't help anyone if it can't be implemented.

Long-term Perspective

We're more interested in building relationships that work over years than in quick fixes that create bigger problems down the line.
