Building Financial Tools That Actually Make Sense

We started sarivento in 2019 because we were tired of financial software that felt like it was designed by people who'd never actually run a business. You know the type – overcomplicated dashboards, features nobody asked for, and support teams that read from scripts.

Our approach is different. We build tools that solve real problems without creating new ones.

How We Got Here

Back in 2018, our founder was consulting for mid-sized businesses across London. The same complaint kept coming up – financial software was either too basic or unnecessarily complex. Nothing felt right for companies that had outgrown spreadsheets but weren't ready for enterprise-level systems.

So we built something in between. Started with a simple cash flow tracker. Then added invoice management because clients kept asking. Payment reconciliation came next. Each feature emerged from actual needs, not market research reports.

By 2021, we'd moved into our Bell Green office and brought on a proper development team. We kept the same philosophy though – listen more than we talk, and build solutions that people would actually want to use every day.

The People Behind the Platform

We're a small team based in South London. Most of us have worked in finance or run our own businesses at some point. That background shapes how we think about product development.

Finnian Blackwell

Chief Technology Officer

Finnian spent eight years building fintech systems for major banks before joining us in 2020. He leads our technical architecture and makes sure everything runs smoothly. Previously worked at Barclays and Monzo, which gives him insight into both traditional and modern approaches to financial technology.

Siobhan Rafferty

Head of Product Development

Siobhan oversees feature planning and client feedback integration. She spent six years as a management accountant before moving into software, so she understands the frustrations our clients face. She's the one who decides what makes it into the platform and what stays on the backlog.

Development & Support Staff

Beyond our core leadership, we have twelve developers, three support specialists, and two security analysts. Everyone works from our London office at least three days a week. We find face-to-face collaboration leads to better solutions than fully remote setups.
