Built Through Experience, Not Guesswork
We started cryvonelira because we watched too many organisations struggle with budget processes that made everyone miserable. Spreadsheets everywhere, approvals lost in email chains, and finance teams drowning in manual work while projects waited.
The Problem Became Personal
After years working in financial operations, our founder witnessed organisations losing opportunities simply because budget approvals took weeks instead of days. That friction cost real money and genuine relationships.
Early Testing in Melbourne
We built the first version with three mid-sized companies willing to pilot something new. They helped us understand what actually mattered – speed, clarity, and keeping everyone on the same page without constant meetings.
Expanding Across Australia
Word spread through professional networks. CFOs talked to each other. By mid-2023, we were working with organisations from Perth to Brisbane, each bringing unique requirements that made our platform stronger.
Continuous Improvement
We're still learning. Every client conversation reveals something we can improve. The platform evolves based on real feedback from finance professionals managing actual budgets under genuine pressure.
Our Approach to Budget Compliance
Compliance doesn't have to mean complexity. We focus on making budget oversight straightforward so finance teams can spend less time chasing approvals and more time on strategic work that actually matters.
- Clear audit trails without overwhelming detail that nobody reads
- Approval workflows that match how your organisation actually operates
- Real-time visibility for stakeholders who need it, when they need it
- Integration with existing financial systems without major disruption
- Regular updates based on changing regulatory requirements
Who We Are
Our team combines financial operations experience with practical technology understanding. We've all worked in roles where budget processes either helped or hindered progress, and that experience shapes everything we build.

Petra Eklund
Petra works directly with organisations implementing cryvonelira. She's learned that successful adoption depends on understanding each client's unique workflow rather than forcing them into a rigid system. Her background in change management makes that possible.
