Is this you?

You don't need more data β€” you need direction

If any of these sound familiar, a fractional CFO is the missing piece.

Profit doesn't match the effort

Sales are strong but little reaches the bottom line, and you're not sure which jobs or products actually make money.

Cash is unpredictable

You can't see far enough ahead to know whether you can hire, invest, or take a distribution without stress.

Big decisions feel risky

Pricing, financing, a new location or a key hire β€” you're deciding on instinct instead of numbers.

Is it the right time?

A fractional CFO pays for itself β€” at the right stage

Be honest about where you are. Here's who gets the most from this, and who might wait.

βœ“ You're ready if…

  • βœ“ You're doing roughly $1M–$50M in revenue and growing.
  • βœ“ Profit doesn't reflect how hard the team is working.
  • βœ“ Cash flow feels tight or unpredictable month to month.
  • βœ“ You're weighing a big move β€” a hire, a location, financing, or an acquisition.
  • βœ“ Your books are fine, but no one turns the numbers into strategy.

β€’ You may not need us yet if…

  • β€’ You're pre-revenue or very early, with simple finances.
  • β€’ Your books aren't set up yet β€” start with bookkeeping first.
  • β€’ You already have a full-time CFO and finance team.
  • β€’ You only need a tax return β€” see our tax services.

Questions, answered

Fractional CFO FAQs

What does a fractional CFO actually do?
Senior financial leadership on a part-time basis: improving profitability and margins, building cash flow forecasts, setting budgets and KPIs, producing decision-ready reporting, and advising on pricing, hiring, financing and growth.
How is a fractional CFO different from my accountant or bookkeeper?
Your bookkeeper records transactions and your accountant files taxes β€” both mostly look at the past. A fractional CFO is forward-looking, using those numbers to plan, improve performance and guide the decisions that grow your business. At Canada Royal you get both, coordinated under one roof.
How much does fractional CFO advisory cost?
Far less than a full-time CFO, whose total cost runs well past $200,000 a year. You pay a predictable monthly fee scaled to your size and scope, with no long-term lock-in. Book a free consultation for a quote tailored to your business.
What size of business is this for?
Typically owner-led companies doing roughly $1M to $50M in revenue that have outgrown basic bookkeeping but aren't ready for β€” or don't need β€” a full-time CFO.
How does the engagement work, and is there a contract?
Most clients work with us month to month, with a clear scope and a regular meeting rhythm. Start with a one-time diagnostic or ongoing monthly support β€” there's no long-term contract, and you can scale up or down as your needs change.
Will you work with my existing accountant or bookkeeper?
Yes. We're happy to collaborate with your current team, or handle bookkeeping, tax and payroll ourselves so everything stays under one roof. Either way, we keep strategy and compliance in sync.
How quickly will we see results?
Most clients have a cash flow forecast and a clear action plan within the first 30 days, with early improvements showing in the numbers by the end of the first quarter.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in North Vancouver and work with businesses across British Columbia and throughout Canada. Most engagements run remotely, with in-person meetings available across Metro Vancouver.
