The People Behind Your Financial Clarity
We're not just number crunchers or spreadsheet enthusiasts. Each person here brings their own story, mistakes they've learned from, and a genuine interest in making budget reviews less painful for businesses across South Korea.
How We Actually Work Together
Most finance teams will tell you they're collaborative. We actually mean it. Every budget review that comes through our office gets looked at by at least three different people—not because we don't trust each other, but because we've learned that fresh eyes catch things the first person might miss.
Someone who's spent fifteen years in manufacturing finance sees patterns differently than someone who came up through tech startups. That's the whole point. We're intentionally building a team where people disagree, challenge assumptions, and occasionally argue about whether a line item makes sense.
It makes for longer meetings sometimes. But it also means our clients get budget insights that actually hold up under scrutiny.
Meet Some of the Team
These are two people you'll probably end up talking to if you work with us. They're good at what they do, but more importantly, they're honest when something doesn't make sense.
Sven Thorvaldsen
Budget Analysis Director
Sven joined us in 2019 after spending way too long at a corporate consultancy where he couldn't actually tell clients what he really thought. He specializes in quarterly reviews for mid-sized manufacturers—the kind where equipment depreciation gets complicated fast.
He's the person who'll spot that your maintenance budget is probably going to blow up in Q3 based on historical patterns. Sometimes clients don't love hearing it in March, but they appreciate it when September rolls around.
Isolde Brynjarsdóttir
Financial Planning Lead
Isolde handles our retail and service sector clients, which means dealing with seasonal fluctuations that can make or break a year. She came to us from operational finance at a restaurant group, so she's seen what happens when cash flow projections miss the mark by even two weeks.
Her budget reviews tend to focus heavily on timing—not just how much you're spending, but when that spending happens relative to your revenue cycles. It's less exciting than big strategic pivots, but it's often what keeps businesses solvent.
What Guides Our Approach
Real Conversations Over Reports
Anyone can generate a budget variance report. We spend time actually talking through what those numbers mean for your specific situation. Sometimes the answer is "this is fine, ignore the red flag," and we'll tell you that instead of manufacturing concern.
Context Matters More Than Benchmarks
Industry benchmarks are useful until they're not. We've seen too many businesses try to force their spending into someone else's ideal ratios. If your business model requires different allocation—and there's sound reasoning behind it—we're not going to push you toward arbitrary standards.
Continuity Builds Better Insights
We assign the same people to your account each cycle because understanding your business takes time. The fifth budget review with someone who knows your history is exponentially more useful than the first one with someone new, even if that new person has impressive credentials.
Let's Talk About Your Budget
If you're planning your 2026 budget cycle or wondering if your current review process is actually helping, reach out. First conversation is just conversation—no pitch, no pressure.
