Meet the minds behind xylorivaneqo
We're a dedicated group of financial strategists, business consultants, and growth specialists who believe that scaling a business shouldn't feel like navigating a maze blindfolded.
Caspian Thornwick
Chief Executive Officer
Caspian spent the better part of a decade watching small businesses struggle with the same recurring financial bottlenecks. After working with over 200 companies across the UK, he noticed something peculiar – most business owners were making decisions based on gut feelings rather than data-driven insights.
Before founding xylorivaneqo in 2019, he worked as a senior consultant at a mid-tier accounting firm where he developed what he calls "the practical approach" – breaking down complex financial strategies into manageable, actionable steps that actually work in the real world.
His philosophy centres around the idea that business growth should be sustainable and predictable, not a constant rollercoaster of feast or famine. When he's not diving into spreadsheets or meeting with clients, you'll find him tinkering with vintage motorcycles or attempting to master the art of sourdough baking.
What drives our approach
Honest Conversations
We skip the jargon and speak plainly about what's working and what isn't. If something doesn't make sense for your business, we'll tell you straight away. No sugar-coating, no overselling – just practical advice you can actually use.
Real-World Testing
Every strategy we recommend has been tested in actual business environments. We don't theorise about what might work – we share what has worked, complete with the messy details and unexpected challenges that came along the way.
Long-term Thinking
Quick fixes rarely lead to lasting success. We focus on building financial foundations that can weather market changes, economic uncertainty, and the inevitable ups and downs that come with running a business.
Our collective expertise
Financial Restructuring
We help businesses reorganise their financial operations to improve cash flow and reduce unnecessary expenses. This often involves renegotiating supplier terms, optimising payment schedules, and identifying hidden cost centres.
- Debt consolidation strategies
- Working capital optimisation
- Cost structure analysis
- Supplier relationship management
Growth Planning
Rather than hoping for the best, we create detailed roadmaps for sustainable expansion. This includes market analysis, resource allocation, and risk assessment to ensure growth doesn't compromise stability.
- Market opportunity assessment
- Resource allocation planning
- Scalability framework design
- Performance monitoring systems
Risk Assessment
Every business decision carries risk. We specialise in identifying potential pitfalls before they become problems, creating contingency plans, and building financial buffers that protect against unexpected challenges.
- Financial stress testing
- Scenario planning
- Insurance gap analysis
- Emergency fund structuring
Process Optimisation
Small inefficiencies compound over time. We examine workflows, administrative processes, and operational procedures to identify areas where businesses can save time and reduce costs without sacrificing quality.
- Workflow analysis
- Technology integration
- Quality control systems
- Productivity measurement
Why we started xylorivaneqo
The idea for xylorivaneqo came from a frustrating realisation. Despite having access to more business advice than ever before, small and medium-sized companies were still making the same financial mistakes year after year. The problem wasn't lack of information – it was lack of practical, actionable guidance that fit their specific circumstances.
We started this platform to bridge that gap. Instead of generic advice that sounds good in theory, we provide specific strategies that have been tested in real business environments. Our learning programmes, scheduled to launch in September 2025, will combine this practical experience with structured educational content.
Our mission is straightforward: to help business owners make informed financial decisions that support sustainable growth, reduce unnecessary risk, and create lasting value for their companies and communities.
