Financial consultancy that helps you plan and grow
Good numbers tell you where you are. Great financial consultancy tells you where you could be. We work alongside you as your business accountant and sounding board, turning your figures into clear, practical decisions. No jargon, no guesswork, just straight answers you can act on.
Whether you are tightening costs, chasing a new opportunity or planning your next year, we help you see the full picture. Think of us as outsourced CFO support without the full-time salary, giving Cape Town and Stellenbosch business owners the senior financial thinking usually reserved for bigger companies.
If you want the day-to-day basics handled too, our accounting services keep your books accurate so every decision rests on solid figures.
Cash flow forecasting and management accounts you can trust
Cash is what keeps the doors open, so we put cash flow forecasting at the heart of what we do. We map out the months ahead, flag the tight spots early and help you plan around them, so you are never caught off guard by a quiet season or a big payment.
Our management accounts and KPI reporting give you a clear monthly view of how the business is really performing. We highlight the numbers that matter, explain what they mean in plain language, and help you spot trends before they become problems.
Together with budgeting and profitability analysis, this gives you a steady rhythm of insight, so you always know which products, clients or services are truly pulling their weight.
Funding readiness and business advisory in South Africa
When you are ready to raise finance or attract investment, presentation matters. We get your numbers funding-ready, building the forecasts, business plans and scenario models that lenders and investors expect to see. You walk in prepared and confident.
Our business advisory in South Africa goes beyond the spreadsheet. We help you model different scenarios, weigh up big decisions and plan growth at a pace your cash flow can handle, so ambition and reality stay in step.

Finance Consultancy: common questions
What does a financial consultant actually do?
A financial consultant helps you understand your numbers and use them to make better decisions. At Thryv that means cash flow forecasting, management accounts, budgeting, profitability analysis and business advisory, all explained in plain language so you can plan, fund and grow your business with real confidence.
How is financial consultancy different from accounting?
Accounting records what has already happened and keeps you compliant. Financial consultancy looks forward, using those numbers to plan, forecast and improve performance. Most clients use both together, so the books stay accurate while we help you turn the figures into a clear strategy for growth.
Do I need an outsourced CFO if I am a small business?
Many SMEs benefit from senior financial thinking long before they can justify a full-time CFO salary. Outsourced CFO support gives you that expertise on a flexible, affordable basis, helping with forecasting, funding and big decisions, so you get the guidance of a finance director without the full-time cost.
Can you help me get my business ready for funding?
Yes. We prepare the forecasts, business plans and scenario models that banks and investors expect, and help you present your numbers clearly and credibly. Whether you are applying for a loan or seeking investment, we make sure your financials tell a strong, honest story that supports your case.
Do you offer financial consultancy outside Cape Town and Stellenbosch?
Yes. While we are based in Cape Town and Stellenbosch, we work with SME owners across South Africa. Most of our consultancy happens remotely through video calls and shared reports, so you get the same hands-on support and clear advice wherever your business is based.
