Zinnia Blackthorne

Lead Financial Strategist

After spending twelve years wrestling with corporate spreadsheets that never quite captured reality, Zinnia found herself questioning why budget forecasting felt more like fortune telling than science. She joined our Manchester team in early 2023 with a mission to bridge the gap between theoretical models and actual business needs.

Her approach focuses on understanding how real companies actually spend money, not how textbooks say they should. This perspective has helped reshape our forecasting methodology to account for the messy, unpredictable nature of genuine business operations.

Senior Budget Analysis Consultant

Caspian stumbled into financial consulting through an unusual path — he originally trained as an engineer before discovering his knack for spotting patterns in financial data. His technical background brings a unique perspective to budget analysis that goes beyond traditional accounting approaches.

He specializes in helping medium-sized businesses navigate the transition from basic bookkeeping to sophisticated forecasting systems. His clients particularly appreciate his ability to explain complex financial concepts without drowning them in jargon.

Our Story Isn't About Perfect Predictions

We started lumyridonaveth because we were tired of budget forecasting tools that promised impossible accuracy. Real businesses don't operate in spreadsheet-perfect conditions. Markets shift, suppliers change prices unexpectedly, and sometimes your biggest client decides to pay three months late.

Instead of pretending we can predict the future with mathematical precision, we focus on building forecasting approaches that remain useful even when reality doesn't match the plan. Our team combines decades of hands-on financial experience with a healthy skepticism about overly optimistic projections.

"Good forecasting isn't about being right all the time. It's about building systems that help you make better decisions even when the unexpected happens."
