Our Story Started With a Question

Why do brilliant entrepreneurs struggle with the basics of business budgeting? We set out to change that reality, one business at a time.

Seven Years of Real Growth

From a Melbourne café conversation to helping thousands of entrepreneurs across Australia manage their finances better.

The Beginning
synthixora Founded in Melbourne

Saskia and Declan met at a business networking event. Both had watched too many smart entrepreneurs fail because they couldn't get their numbers right. That frustration became our mission.

Teaching Financial Clarity

Our approach combines real business experience with practical teaching methods. We've been where you are, and we know what actually works.

Saskia Thornfield

Saskia Thornfield

Founder & CEO

Started three businesses before synthixora - two failed because of poor financial planning. That painful experience became her expertise. Saskia now teaches entrepreneurs how to avoid the cash flow mistakes that kill promising ventures.

Declan Ashworth

Declan Ashworth

Co-founder & Financial Strategist

Spent eight years as a corporate financial analyst before realising small businesses needed different tools than big companies. His teaching method breaks complex budgeting into simple, actionable steps that entrepreneurs can actually use.

Practical Methods

We teach budgeting systems that work in real business conditions, not theoretical perfection.

Industry Focus

Different businesses have different financial rhythms. We customise our approach based on your industry realities.

Ongoing Support

Financial planning isn't a one-time event. We provide continued guidance as your business evolves.

Building Australia's Financial Confidence

Every entrepreneur deserves to understand their numbers. When business owners can read their financials with confidence, make informed decisions, and plan for growth, the entire economy benefits. That's why we're committed to making financial literacy accessible, practical, and relevant for Australian entrepreneurs.
