Our Journey Through Financial Excellence
From a small idea in 2019 to transforming how thousands approach budget forecasting across the UK and beyond
The Spark That Started Everything
What began as late-night conversations between two accountants in a cramped Leeds office has grown into something we never imagined. Marcus Chen and Elena Rodriguez met during a particularly challenging audit season, both frustrated by how many businesses were struggling with basic financial forecasting.
After witnessing countless small businesses fail due to poor budget planning, we knew there had to be a better way to teach these essential skills. Our first course was literally taught from Elena's kitchen table to six local entrepreneurs.
Breaking New Ground
By 2022, word had spread faster than we could handle. What started as weekend workshops had evolved into comprehensive online courses reaching learners from Manchester to Edinburgh. We moved into our current Garforth offices and hired our first full-time instructors.
The breakthrough came when we developed our signature forecasting methodology that simplified complex financial concepts into practical, actionable steps. Students began reporting significant improvements in their financial decision-making within just weeks of completing our programmes.
Where We Stand Today
Today, xylorenquavi represents something much bigger than we originally envisioned. We've helped over 3,000 individuals and 500 businesses develop stronger financial foundations through our comprehensive education programmes and practical forecasting tools.
Our impact extends beyond just teaching spreadsheet formulas. We're building a community of financially literate individuals who understand the importance of strategic planning and evidence-based decision making in both personal and business contexts.

Built on Real Experience
Marcus brings fifteen years of corporate finance experience, having worked with companies ranging from local startups to FTSE 100 corporations. His expertise lies in translating complex financial concepts into practical learning experiences.
Elena's background spans both education and financial consulting. She spent eight years developing training programmes for major accounting firms before co-founding xylorenquavi. Her passion lies in creating learning pathways that actually stick with students long after they complete their courses.
Together, they've built an educational platform that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. Every course, every tool, and every resource at xylorenquavi reflects their combined decades of experience helping people understand and improve their financial decision-making capabilities.
Looking Ahead to 2026
We're not just teaching budget forecasting anymore – we're nurturing a generation of financially confident individuals who understand the power of strategic planning. Our upcoming initiatives include advanced business forecasting programmes launching in September 2025 and expanded resources for personal financial planning.
