Making Financial Spreadsheets Actually Work

We started ryxalivone because we got tired of seeing businesses struggle with overcomplicated financial software when Excel and Google Sheets could do the job better.

How We Got Here

It's funny how the best business ideas come from pure frustration. That's exactly what happened when we kept watching small Australian businesses pay thousands for financial software they couldn't even use properly.

2018

The Lightbulb Moment

After helping a Sydney cafe owner untangle their books for the third time, we realized the problem wasn't lack of financial knowledge. It was that nobody had taught them how to build proper spreadsheet systems that actually scale with their business.

2020

The Remote Learning Shift

When everything went online, we discovered something interesting. People learned spreadsheet skills faster through hands-on practice than traditional classroom settings. This changed how we approach financial education completely.

2022

Beyond Basic Formulas

We started developing advanced templates for cash flow forecasting, inventory management, and profit analysis. Turns out, when you give people the right framework, they can build surprisingly sophisticated financial models.

Real Business Impact

Last year, we helped over 300 Australian businesses build financial systems that actually work for them. Some saved thousands on software subscriptions. Others caught expensive mistakes before they became bigger problems.

Why Spreadsheets Still Matter

Look, we're not anti-technology. But we've seen too many businesses get locked into expensive software that doesn't fit how they actually work. Spreadsheets are transparent, flexible, and you own your data.

Our job is teaching you how to build financial systems that grow with your business without breaking your budget or requiring a computer science degree.

Transparency

You can see exactly how every calculation works and modify anything that doesn't fit your business.

Practicality

We teach techniques you'll actually use, not theoretical concepts that look good on paper.

Independence

Once you learn these skills, you're not dependent on expensive software subscriptions or vendor support.

Results

Everything we teach is focused on helping you make better financial decisions for your business.

Every technique we teach solves a real business problem. No theoretical fluff or features you'll never use. Just the tools that will save you time and help you make better decisions.

Real Results

Our success is measured by whether you can actually use what we teach. We track practical outcomes, not completion certificates or test scores.
