Case Study

Le Ray gymnastics uses the Aretex hybrid accounting model to implement effective and timely financial management across their growing multi-site business.

Le Ray Gymnastics was established in 2000 by former Olympian Dani Le Ray. With a modernised approach to rhythmic gymnastics coaching, they have grown to five highly successful locations. A family business run by Dani and her husband, Marc, Le Ray continues to go from strength to strength, seeking out new and advantageous avenues for growth and development.


Marc stepped into the business in a more permanent capacity to help create operational efficiencies and implement scalable processes. Dani had done a fantastic job getting the business to where it was, but her time and efforts were best spent in the core of the business – coaching students and mentoring the other coaches.


What Marc encountered were gaps in essential business processes, or no process at all. The accounting to that point had been managed by a part-time bookkeeper. The service was expensive, reactive rather than proactive, not in line with best practice, offered limited financial insights and data output, and was driven largely by invoice chasing and tax compliance.

Le Ray Gymnastics outsources their accounting to Aretex to help grow their business to 5 locations.

As the business was undergoing significant growth, it made more logical and economic sense to outsource opposed to hire. This would allow their people to focus more on strengths and value adds, instead of business functions they are ill-equipped to perform.


Having worked with Aretex and Chris in a previous role, Marc was comfortable with the structure of the business – offshore execution at a more affordable rate, with great communication and local support from Chris and the team. He had dealt with overseas outsourcing quite a lot and understood the challenges and limitations, and how Aretex is able to overcome them to deliver a consistent result.


Working collaboratively with Dani and Marc, we sought to understand their individual business goals and management pain points. From there, we were able to design and implement a series of streamlined processes that effectively handles all the operational accounting and bookkeeping and day-to-day financial management of the business. As well as providing detailed data and insights that helped them grow the business and flag potential financial hazards before they arise. This solution can scale up, or down, as their needs evolve – without ever having to add or subtract internal headcount.
