Building Financial Clarity for Australian Businesses

We started zantherialos because too many business owners were drowning in spreadsheets and manual processes. Since 2018, we've been helping companies across Australia transform their financial operations through smart automation and practical solutions.

Our Story Began with a Simple Question

Why do successful businesses still struggle with basic financial tracking? After years of watching talented entrepreneurs get bogged down in manual bookkeeping, our founder decided something had to change.

We've worked with over 300 Australian businesses, from small tradies to growing tech companies. Each client taught us something new about the real challenges of financial management. That's how we developed our practical approach — by solving actual problems, not theoretical ones.

Today, we're proud to help businesses reclaim hours each week that used to be lost to data entry and reconciliation. Our clients tell us it's like getting their weekends back.

What Drives Us Every Day

Practical Solutions

We focus on tools and processes that actually work in real business environments. No complex systems that gather dust — just practical automation that saves time and reduces errors.

Partnership Mindset

Your success is our success. We take time to understand your specific challenges and work alongside you to build systems that fit your business, not the other way around.

Clear Communication

Financial systems can be complex, but our explanations don't have to be. We break down technical concepts into plain English so you always understand what's happening with your money.

Kieran Blackwood

Founder & Financial Systems Specialist

After spending five years as a management accountant for mid-sized manufacturers, Kieran saw the same problems everywhere: brilliant business owners trapped by time-consuming financial admin that could easily be automated.

He founded zantherialos in 2018 with a mission to make financial automation accessible to businesses that couldn't afford big consulting firms. His background in both accounting and business operations gives him a unique perspective on what actually works.

When he's not helping clients streamline their finances, Kieran volunteers with local small business groups and teaches financial literacy workshops. He believes every business owner should feel confident about their numbers.

"The best financial system is the one you actually use. That's why we focus on simple, reliable solutions that fit into how you already work."
