Redefining Financial Clarity

We started Lightwavecharge because spreadsheet chaos was killing too many good business ideas. Since 2019, we've been building smarter ways to see where your money's really going.

Our Beginning

Back in 2019, I was consulting for a startup that burned through six months of runway in three weeks. Their forecasting model? A single Excel sheet that hadn't been updated since their pitch deck. That's when it clicked — brilliant business minds shouldn't fail because of bad financial planning tools.

We built Lightwavecharge from the ground up, focusing on Taiwan's unique business landscape. Local regulations, seasonal patterns, currency fluctuations — everything that makes or breaks a forecast here gets baked into our approach.

What started as fixing broken spreadsheets evolved into something bigger. We're not just number crunchers. We help businesses see the story their finances tell, spot opportunities others miss, and plan moves that actually make sense.

Meet Our Financial Architects

Two specialists who've spent years turning financial chaos into clarity. We know Taiwan's market inside out, and we're pretty good at making numbers tell useful stories.

Astrid Vikander

Chief Financial Strategist

Spent eight years at KPMG Taiwan before jumping ship to fix how businesses actually use financial data. Has an uncanny ability to spot cash flow problems three months before they happen. Coffee enthusiast who thinks quarterly reviews should come with better snacks.

Sienna MacLeod

Senior Budget Analyst

Former investment banker turned budget whisperer. Built forecasting models for companies from night markets to tech startups. Believes every budget should tell a story, not just track expenses. Weekend rock climber who approaches financial challenges the same way she tackles difficult routes.

What We Actually Do

Financial forecasting sounds fancy, but it's really about answering simple questions: Will you have enough cash next quarter? Which projects are worth the investment? Where's your money disappearing to?

Cash Flow Reality Checks

We build models that show exactly when money comes in and goes out. No more surprises when payroll's due but your biggest client pays net-60. We factor in Taiwan's payment cycles, seasonal variations, and those inevitable delays everyone pretends don't happen.

Scenario Planning

What happens if that big deal falls through? What if materials cost 20% more next month? We run the numbers on best-case, worst-case, and most-likely scenarios so you can make decisions with actual data instead of gut feelings.

Budget Architecture

Smart budgets aren't just expense tracking — they're roadmaps for growth. We help you allocate resources to projects that actually move the needle, cut spending that doesn't add value, and find money for opportunities you didn't know you could afford.

Performance Analytics

Numbers without context are just numbers. We help you understand which metrics matter for your business, how to track progress toward real goals, and when those metrics are telling you it's time to pivot or double down.

Why We Do This Work

Good businesses shouldn't fail because of bad financial planning. Taiwan has incredible entrepreneurs with world-changing ideas — they just need clearer numbers to make smarter moves.

Clarity Over Complexity

Financial planning shouldn't require a PhD in accounting. We break down complex scenarios into clear choices so you can focus on running your business instead of deciphering spreadsheets.

Local Market Intelligence

Taiwan's business environment has unique rhythms and regulations. We factor in everything from lunar new year cash flow impacts to local supplier payment terms because context matters.

Practical Solutions

We build tools and models you'll actually use, not impressive-looking reports that gather digital dust. Every recommendation comes with clear next steps and realistic timelines.
