Business Advisory & CFO Services
Running a business is about more than keeping the books balanced, it’s about making the right decisions at the right time. But without expert financial insight, it’s easy to feel like you’re navigating in the dark.
At AnalytIQ Accounting, we provide strategic business financial advisory and flexible CFO services that give you clarity and direction to scale-up confidently.

One of our clients in the retail sector reduced operating costs by 18% and improved gross margins within a year after implementing our cash flow optimization and forecasting strategies. With our support, they built investor-ready reports that secured additional funding for expansion.
What an engagement includes
A finance function sized to your stage.
A fractional CFO engagement is not a monthly report you file away. It is a standing rhythm: a monthly close you can trust, a rolling forecast that says what the next quarter looks like, and a short conversation about the two or three decisions that actually change the number. Most clients start at a few hours a month and scale up around a financing, a hire, or a sale.
Cash first. We build and maintain a 13-week cash flow forecast so tax instalments, HST, payroll and loan payments never arrive as surprises. Seasonal businesses get a trough plan; growing ones get a hiring runway.
Margins and pricing. Gross margin by product, job or client is where most small-business profit hides. We set up the job-costing or class tracking in QuickBooks, review it monthly, and turn it into pricing and staffing decisions rather than a chart.
Financing and lender packages. When you need a line of credit, equipment financing or a Canada Small Business Financing Program loan, we prepare the statements, projections and covenant analysis lenders expect, and sit in on the conversation if it helps.
Owner pay and tax planning. The CFO work connects to the tax file: salary versus dividends, holding company timing, and the year-end bonus decision are modelled with the numbers in front of us, not guessed in April.
Not sure which role you need? Read bookkeeper, controller or fractional CFO, or the short answer on when a small business needs a CFO. Every engagement runs on top of clean monthly books, so many clients pair it with our bookkeeping service.
