How We Work & Who We Support

Our fractional CFO model is built to integrate seamlessly into your organization and deliver measurable results. Each engagement begins with a 30-60 day onboarding and financial assessment phase, where we review your current systems, define priorities, and design a roadmap with clear deliverables. From there, we establish a reporting cadence, typically monthly, based on leadership needs and operating rhythm. Services are delivered on a fixed monthly retainer or as a defined project, depending on scope and timelines. All engagements include clear KPIs, documentation, and direct access to senior advisors.

Whether you're strengthening internal controls, optimizing cash flow, or preparing for a transaction, our model delivers flexibility, rigor, and the financial leadership needed to support executive decisions and unlock growth.

Accurate Cash Flow Forecasting and Financial Planning

Many companies manage their finances based on historical data and static annual budgets, which do not provide sufficient insight to support rapid decisions on hiring, capital investment, or market expansion. Without real-time visibility into cash availability, timing of inflows and outflows, and future funding needs, businesses risk facing preventable shortfalls, delayed growth, or overextension.

TYM Consulting builds dynamic financial models and reporting frameworks that replace guesswork with precise, future-oriented analysis. Our work provides leadership teams with accurate forecasts of cash availability, working capital changes, and investment runway over the next 6 to 12 months, and beyond when required.

We develop and maintain rolling forecasts, scenario plans, and liquidity-tracking systems that are frequently updated and tied directly to operational drivers such as revenue mix, payment terms, cost structure, and headcount planning. These tools support meaningful decision-making on when to hire, when to spend, and how to prepare for a range of potential outcomes, from growth acceleration to unexpected revenue shifts.

What We Provide:

Forecasting & Cash Flow Management

  • 13-week rolling cash flow forecasts, updated weekly
  • 12–24 month financial models tied to operating, revenue, and cost drivers
  • Scenario modeling for changes in sales volume, hiring plans, or input costs
  • Visibility into liquidity, burn rate, and projected funding needs

Reporting & Analysis

  • Weekly reporting on payables, receivables, and working capital status
  • Automated month-end financial statements with variance analysis
  • Trend and ratio analysis across revenue, margin, and expense categories
  • KPI dashboards aligned to operational and financial goals

Strategic Planning Support

  • Budgeting and capital planning for expansion, personnel, and asset purchases
  • Support for lender, investor, and board reporting
  • Debt and equity readiness through model-based documentation
  • Benchmarking of margins, efficiency, and cash conversion metrics
Recent Outcome
A multi-location services company in Austin transitioned from static annual budgeting to dynamic forecasting. Within 90 days, they increased model accuracy by 27% and identified $85,000 in preventable shortfalls related to receivables timing, allowing them to reallocate resources and plan expansion without new financing.

How We Work

  • Onboarding (60–90 days): Model development, data cleanup, reporting setup
  • Ongoing Engagement (Monthly): Forecast updates, financial advisory, and analysis
  • Quarterly Review: Assumption updates, scenario revisions, and alignment to goals

Profitability Analysis and Margin Optimization

Improving profitability requires more than expense reductions. It starts with understanding how each product line, customer segment, and operational activity contributes to earnings. Many companies lack visibility into true unit economics and struggle to assess which parts of the business drive profit and which drain resources.

TYM Consulting performs detailed financial and operational analysis to isolate the factors affecting profitability. We review revenue composition, delivery costs, customer and product-level margins, and internal cost allocations to identify structural issues and areas for improvement. This approach goes beyond traditional cost-cutting by addressing pricing strategy, cost efficiency, and resource deployment.

Our work enables leaders to see which offerings generate positive cash flow, which clients or channels may be unprofitable, and where operational inefficiencies are eroding margins. With this insight, organizations can make targeted adjustments that increase profitability while preserving or accelerating growth.

What We Deliver

Margin & Unit Economics Review

  • Contribution margin analysis across services, SKUs, or business units
  • Identification of loss-making customers, products, or channels
  • Revenue-to-cost mapping tied to pricing and delivery models

Cost Structure & Efficiency

  • Expense benchmarking by department, project, or location
  • Fixed vs. variable cost breakdowns with scalability planning
  • Systems for ongoing cost tracking and variance alerts

Profitability Reporting

  • Real-time dashboards with gross and net margin KPIs
  • Forecasted margin impact tied to pricing or cost adjustments
  • Quarterly profitability reports for leadership and investors

Recent Client Example

A logistics provider in Chicago expanded into three new markets but struggled with declining profitability. Within the first 90 days of engagement, our analysis revealed margin discrepancies tied to operating costs and underpriced routes. By reallocating costs and updating pricing structures, the company reduced overhead by 18% and restored healthy margins while continuing to scale.

How We Support You

  1. Diagnostic & Data Review (30-60 days): Margin breakdown, cost mapping, pricing review
  2. Optimization Phase: Adjustments to pricing, spend allocation, or service strategy
  3. Ongoing Analysis & Reporting: Monthly dashboards, margin tracking, quarterly reviews

CPA-Level Financial Reporting and Compliance

Accurate financial reporting is essential for operational credibility, regulatory compliance, and external review. Many companies struggle to maintain consistent reporting across entities, jurisdictions, and accounting systems, especially when operating in both the U.S. and Canada.

TYM Consulting provides financial statement preparation and oversight led by licensed CPAs. We produce fully reconciled, GAAP-compliant reports and maintain standardized financial documentation across all reporting cycles. For businesses with cross-border operations, we ensure alignment with both IRS and CRA requirements, including tax reporting, entity structure considerations, and consolidated reporting.

Our team manages every reporting stage, from period close and account reconciliation to audit preparation and investor reporting. All statements are reviewed by experienced CPAs for completeness, accuracy, and audit-readiness, ensuring a predictable, compliant reporting process.

What We Provide

GAAP-Compliant Financial Reporting

  • Monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP
  • Complete account reconciliation and variance analysis
  • Documentation of accounting policies and reporting methodologies
  • Management reports with performance insights and trend analysis.

Audit and Review Preparation

  • Pre-audit financial statement preparation and supporting schedules
  • Internal control review and remediation recommendations
  • Coordination with external auditors and support through the audit process
  • Investor-ready financial reporting packages and supporting workpapers

Cross-Border Reporting

  • Compliance with both IRS (U.S.) and CRA (Canada) tax reporting requirements
  • Consolidation and financial statement preparation for multi-entity structures
  • Alignment of accounting policies across U.S. and Canadian operations

Recent Client Result

A New York-based company undergoing its first external financial review passed with no adjustments after implementing TYM’s CPA-reviewed reporting process, including clean reconciliations, full workpapers, and GAAP-compliant statements.

How We Work

  1. Initial Review: Assessment of current reporting structure and key gaps
  2. Implementation: Standardization of reporting workflows and reconciliations
  3. Ongoing Oversight: Monthly CPA review, period close support, and audit preparation

Preparing Your Business for Investors and Scalable Growth

Securing investment requires more than a strong product or growth story. Investors expect reliable financial reporting, defensible valuations, and a clear view of how capital will be deployed to drive returns. Many early- and growth-stage companies struggle to present this level of clarity without dedicated financial leadership.

TYM Business Consulting supports founders through every stage of fundraising preparation, from financial model development to investor communication. We structure your financial data, validate assumptions, and translate operational plans into investor-ready materials, reducing uncertainty and increasing credibility during negotiations.

We have helped clients streamline financial infrastructure, prepare for due diligence, and present clear financial narratives to venture capital, private equity, and strategic investors. In one Ontario engagement, a tech startup secured $2.4 million in funding after TYM rebuilt its financial model, standardized reporting, and equipped leadership with board-ready investor materials.

What We Support

Valuation and Deal Preparation

  • Financial modeling aligned to growth drivers and revenue assumptions
  • Cap table review, equity planning, and dilution analysis
  • Capital deployment and return-on-investment projections

Investor and Board Communication

  • Investor-ready pitch decks with financial narrative and key metric
  • Data room preparation and document support for due diligence
  • Board reporting packages and post-funding updates

Financial Governance Post-Funding

  • Budgeting and capital allocation framework
  • KPI and financial dashboard setup for investor reporting
  • Ongoing forecasting and performance tracking

Cross-Border Accounting and Compliance for the U.S. and Canada

Operating across the U.S. and Canada introduces additional complexity in financial reporting, tax compliance, payroll, and entity structure. Differences between IRS and CRA requirements, combined with multiple accounting standards and residency rules, often create confusion and increase the risk of filing errors or avoidable tax exposure.

TYM Business Consulting provides coordinated cross-border accounting support managed by CPAs experienced in both jurisdictions. We align reporting, structure, and tax compliance across entities, ensuring consistency and efficiency in financial management, whether your parent company, subsidiary, or operations are in the United States, Canada, or both.

Dual Reporting and Accounting Standards

  • Financial statement preparation under U.S. GAAP, ASPE, or IFRS
  • Consolidated reporting for U.S. and Canadian entities
  • Currency alignment and intercompany transaction tracking

Tax and Corporate Structuring

  • Residency analysis for founders, employees, and corporate entities
  • Cross-border tax planning and compliance for IRS and CRA
  • Evaluation of entity types for liability, taxation, and profit repatriation

Operational Support

  • Cross-border payroll setup and administration
  • Transfer pricing documentation and cost allocation between entities
  • Ongoing bookkeeping and period close support across both jurisdictions

Client Example

A Vancouver-based company operating in both countries experienced repeated issues with misaligned filings and inconsistent reporting. After implementing a unified cross-border reporting structure through TYM, the business completed IRS and CRA filings without adjustments and streamlined its internal financial controls.

Financial Automation and Real-Time Reporting

Delayed financial data leads to reactive decisions and preventable risks. Many companies rely on manual reporting processes that take days or weeks to complete, slowing down performance reviews, cash visibility, and operational accountability.

TYM Business Consulting builds automated financial systems using cloud-based accounting platforms such as QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage, combined with custom KPI dashboards that pull live data from multiple sources. This gives leadership teams immediate access to key financial and operational metrics, without waiting for month-end results. Our clients typically reduce reporting time by 30-40% after implementation, while gaining real-time visibility into cash flow, revenue performance, unit margins, and expense trends.

What We Provide

System Integration and Automation

  • Full setup or migration to cloud accounting platforms
  • Automated recurring workflows for billing, reconciliations, and reporting
  • Cross-system integration for CRM, payroll, and expense platforms

Custom KPIs and Dashboards

  • Real-time views of revenue, cash balance, payables, and pipeline
  • Margin, burn rate, and working capital tracking
  • Secure reporting structure with permissions for internal and external stakeholders

Ongoing Support and Oversight

  • CPA-led review of financial data and system outputs
  • Monthly reporting packages aligned to dashboard insights
  • Maintenance, upgrades, and workflow optimization as the business scales

Understanding the Cost of a Fractional CFO

Hiring a full-time Chief Financial Officer is often not feasible for early-stage or mid-sized companies, as total compensation can exceed $200,000 annually when including salary, bonuses, and benefits. A Fractional CFO offers access to the same level of financial expertise and leadership at a significantly lower cost, with the flexibility to scale support as business needs change.

TYM Business Consulting provides Fractional CFO services through engagement models designed to match your current stage and priorities:

Engagement Options

Monthly Retainer
Ongoing financial leadership and reporting support for companies that need consistent oversight of cash flow, budgeting, and performance tracking.

Project-Based Engagements
Structured support for specific initiatives such as fundraising preparation, system migrations, financial modeling, or audit readiness.

Interim CFO Services
Short-term leadership to bridge executive transitions, fill gaps during hiring, or support rapid scaling.

Typical Range and ROI
Fractional CFO retainers typically cost a fraction of a full-time hire, with fees based on scope and complexity. Many clients see measurable returns within 60-90 days through cost restructuring, cash flow improvements, or enhanced investor readiness.
