Building Financial Confidence Since 2018
We started velqoriano because too many smart Australians were making expensive financial mistakes. Not from lack of intelligence, but from lack of practical education that actually connects to real business decisions.
How We Got Here
Every good education program starts with real problems that need solving. Ours began when we realized how many entrepreneurs were struggling with basic financial concepts that business schools never properly explained.
The Problem We Noticed
Working as investment analysts, we kept seeing the same patterns. Brilliant entrepreneurs who could build amazing products but struggled with cash flow management, tax planning, and basic financial structure. The disconnect was frustrating for everyone involved.
Testing Our Approach
We started small - weekend workshops for local business groups. Instead of theoretical concepts, we focused on actual scenarios: "Here's how to read your profit and loss statement when your accountant isn't around" and "Why your cash flow doesn't match your profits."
Expanding Beyond Sydney
Word spread through business networks. We began offering structured programs that combined online learning with practical exercises. The key was always connecting financial concepts to real business decisions participants were actually facing.
Proven Educational Framework
After working with hundreds of Australian entrepreneurs, we've refined our approach. Our programs now focus on building genuine financial confidence through understanding, not just following rules or formulas.
Why Our Education Works
Most financial education feels disconnected from real business challenges. We built our programs around the actual problems Australian entrepreneurs face every day.
Real Business Context
Instead of abstract examples, we use actual case studies from Australian businesses. When you're learning about inventory management, we'll walk through how a Melbourne retailer handles seasonal fluctuations, not some theoretical widget company.
Practical Problem Solving
You won't just learn what a balance sheet is - you'll practice spotting red flags in actual financial statements. We focus on the skills you'll use next month, not concepts you might need someday. Each session includes exercises based on real scenarios.
Australian Business Environment
Tax implications, regulatory requirements, and market conditions vary significantly between countries. Our content reflects Australian business realities, from GST considerations to superannuation obligations and local market dynamics.
Who You'll Learn From
We're not just educators - we're practitioners who've worked with Australian businesses across different industries. Our teaching comes from real experience, not just textbook knowledge.
Kieran Thorne

We believe financial education should be practical, relevant, and immediately useful. That means focusing on real Australian business challenges rather than generic textbook scenarios. Our next comprehensive program launches in September 2025, giving you time to prepare and plan your learning journey properly.
