Building Trust Through Financial Clarity
We started zeltrivonira in 2018 because we saw something that didn't sit right. Too many business owners struggled to communicate financial information clearly with their teams, partners, and stakeholders.
What began as small workshops in a Melbourne co-working space has grown into a comprehensive education platform serving businesses across Australia.
The Beginning
Founded by Meredith Callaghan and Jasper Faulkner, two former financial analysts who noticed a gap between technical financial knowledge and practical communication skills. We launched our first course with 12 participants in a borrowed office space.
Digital Transformation
When the world shifted online, we adapted fast. Built our first digital learning platform and discovered that remote education actually made our content more accessible. Enrollment jumped from 80 students annually to over 400.
Expanding Reach
Partnered with Australian business associations and industry groups. Developed specialized programs for retail, hospitality, and professional services sectors. Our team grew to include industry practitioners who brought real-world experience to curriculum development.
Looking Forward
Today, we're focused on practical skills that actually matter. Our autumn 2025 intake opens in July, featuring updated modules on stakeholder communication and financial reporting clarity. We're also launching specialized workshops for growing businesses throughout late 2025.
What Guides Our Work
These aren't just nice words on a wall. They're the principles we return to when making decisions about curriculum, teaching methods, and how we interact with students.
Honesty in Teaching
We don't promise overnight expertise or guaranteed outcomes. Financial communication takes practice, reflection, and real-world application. Our courses provide the foundation and support, but the growth happens through your own effort.
Practical Over Theoretical
Every lesson connects to actual business scenarios. We built our content by talking to business owners about their real challenges, not by copying textbooks. You'll work with examples that look like what you encounter daily.
Learning Community
Financial management can feel isolating. Our students connect with each other, share experiences, and learn from diverse perspectives. Some of our best course improvements came directly from student feedback and discussions.
Continuous Improvement
Business finance keeps changing. We update our materials regularly based on current practices, regulatory shifts, and new communication tools. Our curriculum reflects what's happening in Australian businesses right now, not five years ago.
Accessible Support
Questions don't follow a schedule. We maintain active support channels where instructors respond within 24 hours during weekdays. If something's unclear, we want to know so we can explain it better.
Realistic Expectations
We're upfront about what our programs can and can't do. They'll strengthen your financial communication skills and give you frameworks for clearer reporting. But they won't replace experience or guarantee specific business outcomes. Learning takes time.
People Behind the Platform
Our team combines financial expertise with teaching experience. Most of us have worked in business finance roles before moving into education, so we understand the communication challenges firsthand.
We're not academic theorists. Meredith spent seven years as a financial controller for retail businesses. Jasper managed financial reporting for a professional services firm. That background shapes how we design curriculum and what we emphasize in lessons.
Our instructors come from diverse industry backgrounds including hospitality management, manufacturing, consulting, and technology startups. This variety means students get perspectives from multiple business contexts, not just one narrow view.
