We're a team of financial strategists who believe that understanding your options shouldn't require a finance degree. Since 2018, we've been helping Australian businesses and individuals see around corners.
Back in early 2018, our founder Sienna Blackwood was working at a mid-sized accounting firm in Sydney. She kept noticing the same pattern—clients would make big financial decisions based on single projections, then six months later, they'd be dealing with consequences nobody saw coming.
The problem wasn't bad advice. It was incomplete vision. People needed to see multiple futures at once—the optimistic scenario, the realistic one, and yes, the version where things don't go as planned.
So she built the first version of our scenario modeling platform on weekends. Just a simple tool that let you sketch out three different versions of the same decision. Friends started asking if they could use it. Then their accountants wanted access. By mid-2019, we had fifty users we'd never met.
We're not trying to predict the future. We're helping you prepare for several versions of it.
Financial modeling can get dense quickly. We've watched too many smart people make decisions based on spreadsheets they didn't fully understand. Our approach strips away the jargon and shows you exactly what's driving each outcome.
When you're looking at three different scenarios for expanding your business, you should be able to point at each number and know where it came from. No black boxes. No "trust us, the algorithm knows." Just clear cause and effect.
Every feature we build gets tested by actual businesses first. Not focus groups or beta testers doing hypothetical exercises—real companies making real decisions with money on the line.
Last year, we worked with a manufacturing business in Melbourne that was considering three different expansion paths. They used our platform to model each scenario over eighteen months. The version they almost chose looked great on paper but had a cash flow cliff in month seven that would've been painful. They caught it early and adjusted their approach. That's the kind of validation that matters more than any awards.
Small team. Diverse backgrounds. All of us frustrated by how hard it was to see financial decisions clearly before joining quantaeloon.
Founder & Strategy Lead
Spent seven years in corporate finance before realizing she was better at explaining financial concepts than most people were at understanding them. Built the first version of quantaeloon because she was tired of watching clients make decisions with incomplete information. Still codes on weekends when new ideas hit.
Lead Developer
Joined from a fintech startup in 2020 after seeing how most financial software felt like it was designed by engineers for engineers. His philosophy is simple—if your grandmother couldn't figure out the interface in five minutes, it needs more work. Previously built trading systems for institutional investors.
Most financial planning assumes one path forward. We help you prepare for three—and understand what changes the outcome in each.
Every financial decision branches into different futures depending on factors you can and can't control. Market conditions shift. Customer behavior changes. Suppliers raise prices or competitors lower them.
We help you map out the optimistic case, the realistic middle ground, and the version where things go sideways. Not to predict which one will happen, but so you know what levers to pull when reality starts matching one of these patterns.
Your model shouldn't be a document you create once and file away. It's a living tool that evolves as new information comes in.
When you update one assumption—say, your customer acquisition cost increases by fifteen percent—the platform shows you how that ripples through all three scenarios. Maybe your optimistic case becomes your realistic one. Maybe your contingency plan needs adjustment. Either way, you're seeing the impact immediately instead of three months from now.
