Building Financial Foundations for Australian Founders
We started corsanivoleq because too many good ideas never made it past Series A.
Most startup founders we met had brilliant products but struggled with the financial infrastructure needed to attract serious investment. corsanivoleq exists to bridge that gap between innovation and investability across the Australian startup landscape.
From Pitch Decks to Balance Sheets
Back in 2019, we watched three promising Sydney-based startups fold within months of each other. Not because their products failed. Their financial reporting couldn't meet investor requirements.
That's when Cassidy Pemberton decided to stop consulting individually and build something systematic. corsanivoleq launched in early 2020 with a simple mission: make financial due diligence accessible for early-stage founders who don't have a CFO on speed dial.
We've since worked with founders from Melbourne to Brisbane, helping them structure their finances for seed rounds, Series A, and beyond. The common thread? Everyone needs clarity before they need capital.
What Actually Matters to Us
We've built our practice around principles that emerged from real founder conversations, not business school theory.
Practical Before Perfect
Your financial systems don't need to impress accountants. They need to answer investor questions quickly and accurately when opportunities emerge.
Context Over Complexity
We explain the why behind every financial structure we recommend. You're building a company, not following a checklist.
Growth-Ready Infrastructure
Financial systems that work at pre-seed often collapse at Series A. We build structures that scale with your revenue, not against it.
Who's Behind corsanivoleq
Our approach combines formal financial training with years spent in startup trenches. We understand both the spreadsheets and the sleepless nights.
Cassidy Pemberton
Founding Financial Advisor
Spent eight years at KPMG before realizing founders needed someone who spoke both finance and startup. Built corsanivoleq's methodology around questions investors actually ask during due diligence.
2020
Port Macquarie Launch
Started with three clients and a conviction that financial prep shouldn't require hiring a full-time CFO. Built our first frameworks around common investor questions.
2022
Series A Focus
Noticed founders hitting walls between seed and Series A. Developed specialized support for that transition when financial scrutiny intensifies dramatically.
2024
Regional Expansion
Extended services across NSW and Queensland as remote collaboration proved just as effective as in-person meetings for financial infrastructure work.
2025
Ecosystem Integration
Now working closely with accelerators and angel networks to provide founders with financial guidance before they start pitching, not after they've already been rejected.
