Indira Blackwell

Senior Risk Assessment Specialist

Before joining aurithonexal in late 2023, Indira worked with APRA's supervisory teams and later as an independent consultant for mid-tier accounting firms. She has a knack for translating complex regulatory requirements into practical guidance that actually makes sense. Her weekend hobby involves analyzing cryptocurrency market patterns—purely for intellectual curiosity, she insists.

Our Journey

2022

Started as a small consulting group focusing on financial education workshops for Perth's growing fintech sector. Our first office was actually Sterling's garage—complete with a whiteboard wall and terrible coffee.

2024

Expanded our team and moved to our current Heathridge location. We began developing comprehensive financial literacy programs, drawing from real-world experiences in Australia's evolving regulatory landscape.

2025

Today we focus on bridging the gap between complex financial concepts and practical understanding. Our approach combines traditional financial wisdom with insights from Australia's dynamic market environment.
