Real People, Real Results

We started jalateloaleon because too many businesses were flying blind with their budgets. Seven years later, we're still that same team of finance nerds who get excited about spreadsheets and love helping companies find money they didn't know they had.

How We Actually Started

Back in 2018, I was consulting for a manufacturing company that was hemorrhaging money. Their books looked fine on paper, but when we dug deeper, they were spending 40% more than their competitors on raw materials simply because they'd never benchmarked their costs properly.

That lightbulb moment led to jalateloaleon. We realized most businesses have no idea where their money really goes compared to others in their industry. They're making budget decisions based on gut feelings rather than data.

So we built a company around one simple idea: give businesses the financial intelligence they need to make smarter decisions. No fancy jargon, no complex theories – just real numbers that help real people run better businesses.

Industry Intelligence

We maintain Australia's most comprehensive database of financial benchmarks across 200+ industry categories. When a client asks "How do we stack up?" we can answer with precision, not guesswork.

Strategic Context

Numbers without context are just numbers. We dig into the why behind your spending patterns and help you understand which expenses drive growth versus which ones are just habit.

Implementation Support

Great insights mean nothing if you can't act on them. We work alongside your team to implement changes, track progress, and adjust strategies based on real results.

Financial analysis workflow and methodology

Deep Dive Analysis

We start by understanding your business model, revenue streams, and cost structures. This isn't a surface-level review – we map every dollar to understand your financial DNA.

Benchmark Mapping

Using our industry database, we identify your closest competitors and map your performance against relevant benchmarks. Context matters – we don't compare apples to oranges.

Strategic Recommendations

We deliver specific, prioritized recommendations with expected impact and implementation timelines. Every suggestion comes with a clear business case and realistic expectations.

What Drives Us

Honest Numbers

We present data as it is, not as you might want it to be. Sometimes the truth isn't comfortable, but it's always more useful than optimistic fiction.

Practical Focus

Every analysis we do must lead to actionable insights. Beautiful reports that sit on shelves don't help anyone – we focus on changes you can actually implement.

Long-term Thinking

Quick fixes rarely create lasting value. We help you build financial systems and habits that compound over time, not just solve today's problems.
