We Actually Know How Budgets Work

Most consultancies talk about strategy. We talk about where your money's really going — and whether those activities match what you're trying to achieve.

Started in 2019, morenthysa was born from frustration with traditional budgeting methods that treat every department like a black box. We focus on activity-based budgeting because it connects spending to actual work.

Our approach isn't revolutionary. It's just honest accounting that helps you see what drives costs in your organisation.

Built on Real Budget Problems

Back in 2018, we were working with a mid-sized manufacturer who couldn't figure out why their margins kept shrinking. Traditional budget reports showed everything was fine. But when we mapped costs to activities — setup time, quality checks, packaging runs — patterns emerged that standard accounting completely missed.

That project changed how we think about financial management. Since then, we've helped over 60 Australian organisations untangle their cost structures. Some discoveries are obvious once you see them. Others take weeks of analysis to surface.

We work mainly with organisations between 50 and 500 people — large enough to have complex operations, small enough that change is still manageable. Our clients span manufacturing, professional services, education providers, and government departments across NSW and Victoria.

What matters most? We don't just deliver reports. We sit with your finance team and department heads until everyone understands what the numbers actually mean for their work. That's where real change starts.

People Behind the Analysis

Small team. We keep it that way because every project needs people who understand both the technical side and how organisations actually function.

See If We're a Good Fit

Not every organisation needs activity-based budgeting. But if your current financial reports leave more questions than answers, we should talk.
