Fractional CFO · Kelowna & the Okanagan

Most CFOs hand you a plan and send you to your accountant.

We are your accountant. Monthly financial leadership delivered by the same firm that structures your reorganizations and files your returns.

Three moments where one firm changes the answer.

Selling the business

A generic CFO tells you the business is worth taking to market. We tell you that too — then purify the balance sheet to preserve small business corporation status, protect the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption, and value the shares. Started eighteen months out, that sequence is routine. Started at the letter of intent, some of it is no longer available.

Bringing in the next generation

The strategic question is how to transition control. The tax question is how to freeze present value and direct future growth to the people who will build it. These are the same decision. We handle the freeze, the share structure and the valuation together.

Incorporating or restructuring

Share classes, the small business deduction, holding company structure, family trust. Decisions made at incorporation determine whether a reorganization is required in five years. Getting them right at the start is cheaper than fixing them later.

A defined engagement, not a standing invitation to call.

01 · Close

Books closed and reconciled

Cloud-based bookkeeping, kept current — not reconciled in a panic three weeks after quarter-end. Closed monthly, accurate, available from any device.

02 · Report

Financial package by the [15th]

Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement, with written commentary on what moved and why. Not a data dump — an explanation.

03 · Measure

KPI dashboard

The four to six numbers that actually drive your business, tracked against target and trend. Built with you during onboarding — yours, not a template.

04 · Forecast

Rolling 13-week cash flow

Updated monthly. This is the tool that tells you in September that March is tight, while you still have options.

05 · Project

Quarterly tax projection

No March surprises. You know what you owe and what instalments look like well before the deadline, with time to act.

06 · Decide

A scheduled monthly call

Same time each month with the partner on your file. Decisions on the table, not a status update.

The foundation the rest of it runs on.

Clean, current books are where every engagement starts — and often where clients start with us.

Bookkeeping

Cloud-based and continuously current, so the numbers your decisions rest on are accurate and available whenever you need them.

Sales taxes

GST, HST and PST calculated correctly, collected accurately and remitted on time — full compliance with CRA and provincial requirements.

WorkSafeBC

Registration, monthly and quarterly reporting, premium calculation and timely filing. A BC-specific requirement plenty of national providers don't touch.

Corporate tax

Your T2 and related filings prepared by the same firm that maintains your books. Nothing gets re-explained, nothing falls between two providers.

Where your money sits, and where it's going.

Cash flow, forecast rather than reported

Most businesses learn about a cash problem when it arrives. We maintain a rolling 13-week forecast and update it monthly, so the tight weeks surface a quarter early. Profitable companies fail on timing, not on margin — this is the discipline that prevents it.

Capital allocation, reviewed on a schedule

Cash, inventory, equipment, real estate and investments each carry a cost and a return. We review how yours are deployed quarterly and bring a recommendation: where capital is working, where it's idle, and what a reallocation would do to liquidity, risk and tax position.

The decisions this supports

Whether to finance or pay cash. Whether to hold surplus in the corporation or extract it. When to take on debt and what covenants you can live with. What a hiring plan does to runway. Whether the business is ready to sell — and what it needs before it is.

This works well for some businesses and poorly for others.

A good fit if

  • You're between $1M and $20M in revenue
  • Decisions are outrunning the information you have
  • You're planning a sale or succession within five years
  • A bookkeeper isn't enough and a full-time CFO isn't justified

Not a good fit if

  • You need daily transaction processing
  • You want someone in the building full time
  • You're shopping strictly on lowest monthly rate
  • You'd rather not change how the books are kept

We'll tell you on the first call if it isn't a fit, and point you somewhere better.

Highlighted figures are placeholders. Publishing a floor is the single highest-impact change on this page — prospects who can't find a price either call to ask or quietly go to whoever published theirs.

Thirty minutes tells us both.

Enough time to know whether this fits. You'll leave with a view on your situation either way.
