Built by People Who Actually Use Spreadsheets

We started evolanorix because we got tired of budget software that felt like it was designed by people who never had to track real expenses or explain variances to stakeholders.

The Problem We Couldn't Ignore

Back in 2019, our founders were working at different companies but facing the same frustration. Every budget tool seemed to assume you had unlimited time to learn complex workflows, or that your financial data was perfectly clean and organized.

The reality? Most businesses have messy data, tight deadlines, and people who need to understand budgets without becoming financial analysts. We kept seeing colleagues struggle with software that made simple tasks complicated.

"I remember spending three hours trying to create a simple variance report that should have taken fifteen minutes. That's when I knew we needed to build something different." — Kiersten Blackwell, Technical Director

So we started building tools that work the way actual business people think about money — not the way software engineers think they should think about money.

How We Build Different

Every feature we create gets tested by people who hate learning new software. If someone can't figure it out in their first five minutes, we rebuild it.

Real Workflow Testing

We partner with small business owners who let us watch them work through their actual budget processes. Not focus groups with perfect scenarios — real people with real deadlines and incomplete data trying to make decisions.

No Feature Bloat

When we're tempted to add something clever, we ask: "Will this help someone who's trying to finish their budget review before a 9 AM meeting?" If the answer isn't obviously yes, we don't build it.

Australian Business Context

Our tools understand GST calculations, Australian financial years, and the reporting requirements that matter here. We don't make you adapt international software to local needs.

The People Behind the Product

evolanorix started with two people who had very different backgrounds but shared the same frustration with overcomplicated financial software.

Kiersten came from enterprise software consulting where she spent years watching clients struggle with tools that technically worked but felt impossible to use. Roderick had been managing budgets for growing companies and kept running into software that assumed he had all day to generate one report.

"We believe the best software feels invisible. You should be thinking about your business decisions, not figuring out which button to click next."

Today we're still a small team, which means we can move quickly when we discover something isn't working. Every person here has used our own tools for real work — not just testing.

Kiersten Blackwell

Technical Director

Led development teams at three different enterprise software companies before deciding to build something that regular people could actually use. Still maintains the Excel budgets for her family's business.

Roderick Chen

Product Strategy Lead

Managed budgets for companies from 15 to 500 employees. Knows exactly how long real budget processes take and which shortcuts actually save time versus just moving problems around.

What Drives Our Decisions

These aren't poster principles — they're the questions we ask when we're deciding what to build next.

Time Respect

Your budget work shouldn't take longer than necessary. We optimize for the person who needs answers quickly, not the person who has all day to explore features.

Real-World Flexibility

Business data is messy and deadlines are tight. Our tools work with incomplete information and let you refine as you go rather than demanding perfection upfront.

Transparent Communication

When something breaks or doesn't work as expected, we explain what happened and what we're doing about it. No corporate speak or deflection.

What You Can Expect

We're not trying to replace your financial expertise — we're trying to get the software out of your way so you can focus on making good business decisions. Our tools handle the calculations and formatting so you can spend your time analyzing results and planning next steps.

When you run into problems (and you will, because budget work is complicated), you'll reach real people who understand both the software and the business context you're working in.
