Built by Finance Professionals, For Finance Professionals
We started lumivaraqos because we were tired of financial software that looked impressive in demos but fell apart when you needed real answers under pressure.
The Problem That Started Everything
After spending too many late nights wrestling with clunky financial software that couldn't handle real-world complexity, our founders Henrik and Tomislav decided there had to be a better way. They'd worked at investment banks and seen million-dollar decisions delayed by tools that couldn't keep up.
Building From the Ground Up
While everyone else was trying to add features to existing platforms, we started fresh. We spent eighteen months talking to CFOs, analysts, and portfolio managers about what they actually needed. Not what looked good in sales presentations – what worked when deadlines were tight and the numbers had to be right.
Real-World Testing
Our first clients were brutally honest about what worked and what didn't. We rebuilt our risk modeling engine three times based on feedback from a Melbourne hedge fund. A mining company in Perth helped us redesign our cash flow projections because their seasonal patterns broke our initial assumptions.
Growing With Purpose
Today we serve financial teams across Australia and Asia-Pacific. But we've kept the same philosophy – every feature we build has to solve a real problem that someone actually has. No buzzwords, no unnecessary complexity, just tools that help finance professionals do their best work.
What Drives Us Every Day
These aren't corporate poster values – they're the principles that shape every decision we make, from product design to customer support.
Reliability Over Flash
Financial decisions can't wait for systems to catch up. Our tools work consistently, even when you're processing complex scenarios or working with large datasets. We've learned that being dependable matters more than having the shiniest interface.
Transparency in Everything
When you're making recommendations to senior management, you need to understand how your analysis was calculated. Our algorithms show their work, our pricing is straightforward, and we're honest about what we can and can't do.
Accuracy Without Compromise
We've seen what happens when financial models produce "close enough" results. Our systems are built by people who understand that in finance, precision isn't perfectionism – it's professional responsibility.
Speed That Actually Matters
Fast doesn't mean rushed. We focus on eliminating the delays that actually slow down decision-making – like waiting for data imports, struggling with unintuitive interfaces, or having to manually verify calculations.
Meet the Team Behind the Tools
We're a small team with deep experience in both finance and technology. Everyone here has worked in roles where getting the numbers wrong wasn't an option.
Henrik Lindqvist
Chief Technology Officer
Previously built trading systems at Deutsche Bank in Sydney. Henrik's obsession with system reliability comes from managing platforms that processed billions in daily transactions. He believes the best financial software is the kind you never have to think about – it just works.
Tomislav Kowalski
Head of Financial Engineering
Spent seven years as a senior analyst at Macquarie Capital, specializing in complex structured products. Tom understands that beautiful models mean nothing if they don't reflect market reality. He ensures our analytical frameworks actually help users make better decisions.
