From Inspiration to Innovation
Discover how Blox was born from a passion to simplify financial planning & reporting, guided by a mission to empower ambitious businesses and a vision to help unlock your full potential.
Financial Innovation Born from Necessity
The seed for Blox was sown during the Covid lockdown when our founder, Simon Ritchie, began volunteering with a local charity in Brighton UK, delivering food hampers. Through the interactions with the charity leaders, and as someone who had spent years working in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), helping leaders make informed decisions through data, Simon saw first-hand the reporting challenges faced by small and medium-sized organizations.
While volunteering, Simon recognized that even charities, much like small & medium businesses, struggled with reporting, forecasting, and performance management built with clunky, error prone and time-consuming spreadsheets.
Simon was frustrated that the status quo couldn’t help them - the solutions of the day were too expensive and too complex, making them only accessible to the larger richer companies.
Inspired by the idea of creating an accessible, powerful tool for financial planning, Simon envisioned a solution that would make financial planning and reporting easier, affordable, and scalable for any business.
This is how Blox was born – a platform built to empower businesses of all sizes with the tools to make better financial decisions without the hefty cost or complexity of traditional FP&A systems.
What if there was a better way?
Blox was built on the idea that financial planning and analysis should be:
- Simple to use, allowing any business to get started quickly.
- Flexible and powerful, combining data from different sources to create a full picture of business performance.
- Accessible to all, making advanced planning, reporting and modelling capabilities available not only for large companies but also for small and medium-sized businesses.
Simon also saw an opportunity to leverage the latest cloud technology to create a solution that’s faster, more efficient, and designed to grow with your business.
