Marcus Hendricks

Lead Financial Strategist

Business Scaling Cash Flow Optimization Investment Strategy

Marcus brings fifteen years of transforming struggling businesses into profit powerhouses. His approach? It's never just about the spreadsheets. "I've seen too many entrepreneurs get lost in their own numbers," he often says during our strategy sessions.

What sets Marcus apart is his ability to spot the hidden cash flow patterns that most business owners miss completely. In 2024 alone, he helped restructure over 180 businesses across the Johannesburg region, with an average revenue increase of 340% within their first year of implementation.

Before joining Bravena Surva, Marcus spent eight years as a senior analyst with one of South Africa's leading investment firms. But he discovered his real passion was working directly with entrepreneurs who were ready to take that leap from survival mode to true financial growth.
