Built by People Who Actually Get Finance
We started ephorilvento back in 2018 because financial tools felt disconnected from what real businesses needed. Seven years later, we're still fixing that problem one tool at a time.
What Drives Our Work
Honest Numbers
Financial data should tell you what's happening without fancy dashboards hiding the truth. We build tools that show you exactly where your money goes and why it matters. No sugarcoating, no fluff.
Built for Humans
Most financial software assumes you have an accounting degree. Ours assumes you're busy running a business and need answers fast. Simple interfaces that don't waste your time figuring them out.
Real Support
When you hit a roadblock at 9pm before a deadline, you need help from someone who understands your business context. Our team actually responds and knows the tools inside out.
Continuous Improvement
We update our tools based on how people actually use them, not just adding features for the sake of it. Client feedback shapes what we build next, and we're transparent about our development roadmap.
How We Got Here
Starting Small
Three of us left corporate finance jobs frustrated with clunky internal systems. We rented a small office in Sydney and started building what we wished existed. First client came from a coffee shop conversation.
Finding Our Niche
The pandemic pushed businesses to go digital fast. We focused on helping mid-sized companies track cash flow when everything felt uncertain. Our client base grew from 12 to over 80 businesses that year.
Building the Team
Hired our first dedicated support specialist after realizing we couldn't scale while answering every email ourselves. Added three developers who'd worked in finance operations and understood the pain points firsthand.
Expanding Tools
Launched our expense categorization system after two years of development and testing with 40 pilot clients. It wasn't perfect at launch, but we've improved it significantly based on real usage patterns.
What's Next
We're working on better integration with Australian banking systems and planning educational workshops for clients in late 2025. Still a small team, still focused on solving actual problems.

Kieran Bjornstad
Principal ArchitectKieran spent eight years building financial systems for banks before joining ephorilvento in 2019. He got tired of watching good ideas get buried in corporate bureaucracy and wanted to build tools that actually shipped.
These days he splits time between architecture decisions and working directly with clients who need custom solutions. Outside work, he's usually hiking somewhere around the Blue Mountains or experimenting with sourdough recipes.
His approach to fintech: make it work reliably first, optimize later, and never assume users will read the manual.
