Seven Years of Real Budget Solutions
We started xerannololao in 2018 because we kept seeing the same problem everywhere — businesses burning through cash on things that didn't actually move the needle. Our approach isn't about cutting everything. It's about cutting smart.
The Beginning
Started in a cramped Sheffield office after watching too many promising businesses fail simply because they couldn't manage their cash flow properly. Our first client saved £18,000 in six months just by restructuring their supplier payments.
Crisis Response
When the pandemic hit, we had to completely rethink how businesses approach emergency budgeting. Developed our rapid cost assessment framework that helped 47 local companies navigate those impossible months without laying off staff.
Digital Evolution
Launched our remote consultation model, allowing us to work with businesses across the UK. This year taught us that good budget planning works the same whether you're in Manchester or Cornwall — it's about understanding what drives your specific costs.
Looking Ahead
We're expanding our team and developing new tools for real-time budget monitoring. The goal remains the same — help businesses spend money on things that actually matter to their growth and sustainability.
What Drives Our Work
These aren't just nice words on a wall. They're the principles that guide every budget review, every recommendation, and every conversation we have with clients.
Practical Clarity
We skip the jargon and focus on what actually works. Every recommendation comes with clear reasoning and realistic timelines for implementation.
Strategic Focus
Budget cuts should strengthen your business, not weaken it. We identify which expenses drive growth and which ones just drain resources.
Long-term Partnership
We're not interested in quick fixes that fall apart in six months. Our strategies are designed to create lasting financial stability and flexibility.
Cerys Blackwood
Senior Financial Strategist
Before xerannololao, I spent eight years watching businesses make the same costly mistakes over and over. A manufacturing company spending £3,000 monthly on software they used twice. A restaurant chain paying for premium ingredients that customers couldn't taste. I started this company because I genuinely believe most budget problems have surprisingly straightforward solutions — if you know where to look.
Our Promise to You
We won't promise to transform your business overnight or guarantee specific savings percentages. What we will do is thoroughly understand your operation, identify genuine cost reduction opportunities, and provide you with actionable strategies that make financial sense for your specific situation. Real budget optimization takes time, but the results speak for themselves.
