CFO Services

You Get All the Benefits of Full-Time CFO Services.
At a Part-Time Price!

At some point, your business will reach a point where it would benefit from the advice of a full-time Chief Financial Officer, but you won’t quite be ready to spring for the near $100,000 price tag (plus bonuses and benefits) for those CFO services.

Congratulations if your business has reached this point!

Frequently asked questions

What do YMA's CFO services include?

Our CFO services cover the strategic financial side of your business: cash flow forecasting, budgeting and profitability analysis, financing and banking support, oversight of your accounting processes, and proactive tax planning, delivered on a part-time basis scaled to your needs.

Who are CFO services right for?

They suit growing Canadian businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping and need executive-level financial guidance, but are not yet ready to carry the cost of a full-time chief financial officer.

Is this the same as a fractional CFO?

In practice, yes. Our CFO services are delivered in a part-time, flexible model, which is what a fractional arrangement means. You can read more on our fractional CFO services page.

Will a CFO work alongside our existing accountant or bookkeeper?

Yes. A CFO builds on the work your bookkeeper and accountant already do, using those numbers for forward planning rather than replacing anyone.

Do you offer CFO services remotely across Canada?

Yes. We work with incorporated businesses and owners remotely across Canada, to Canadian and CRA standards.
