Built from Real Budget Disasters
We started flashthinkdata in early 2019 after watching too many businesses scramble during audit season. The pattern was always the same — last-minute panic, missing receipts, spreadsheets that didn't add up.
Our founding team spent years in corporate finance, mostly fixing other people's budget nightmares. At some point, we realized that prevention made more sense than emergency repairs.
Today, we work with businesses across Argentina to build audit-ready systems before anyone asks for them. No drama, no all-nighters before deadlines.
Mateo Herrera
Co-founder who spent 12 years untangling budget reports for mid-sized companies. Now he teaches businesses to track expenses properly from day one.
Santiago Ruiz
Operations lead with background in regulatory compliance. Keeps our methods current with Argentina's evolving financial reporting standards.
Six Years of Figuring This Out
We didn't have a perfect plan from the start. Each year taught us something new about what businesses actually need versus what consultants usually sell them.
Started Small
Three clients, mostly referrals. We worked out of a shared office space and tested different approaches to budget documentation.
First Full Audit Season
Supported 18 businesses through regulatory audits. Every single one passed without major findings. That's when we knew our system worked.
Training Program Launch
Created workshops for internal finance teams. Businesses wanted to learn our methods rather than just hire us to do everything.
Regional Expansion
Opened consultation services across three more provinces. Same straightforward approach, different local regulatory contexts.
Software Integration
Built custom tools that connect with existing accounting platforms. Automated the repetitive parts, kept humans involved in the important decisions.
Fall 2025 Programs
Rolling out extended training series starting October. For businesses that want deeper expertise without hiring full-time staff.
How We Actually Work
Most consulting firms show up, audit your books, write a report, and leave. That never made sense to us.
We think budget preparation should be something your team understands, not a mysterious process that only experts can touch. So we built our approach around knowledge transfer.
Documentation That Makes Sense
We map your current financial processes first — no assumptions. Then we identify where documentation breaks down during typical audit requests. From there, we create systems that capture the right information without adding hours to your workday.
Compliance Without the Confusion
Argentina's financial regulations change regularly. We track updates from AFIP and other regulatory bodies so you don't have to become a compliance expert. Your team gets clear instructions on what's currently required and why it matters.
Real-Time Problem Solving
Budget issues don't wait for scheduled consultations. When questions come up during month-end closing or expense reconciliation, you need answers that day. We maintain ongoing support channels rather than quarterly check-ins.
