Ottawa Fractional CFO Services Strategic finance—built on clean, on-time monthly books.

Orbit pairs an on-time monthly close with fractional CFO services—planning, financial projections, cash-flow, KPI visibility—so Ottawa owners make informed decisions without hiring a full time CFO.

Who Needs a Fractional CFO?

Founders & owners stuck in spreadsheets instead of focusing on growth

Teams with revenue momentum but little cash visibility

Multi-location or multi-entity organizations with inventory or COGS complexity

Boards or lenders asking for forward-looking financial projections, not just historicals

SMBs and small medium businesses needing senior finance expertise without the cost of a full time executive

Business startups preparing to scale, build a financial model, or raise capital

Why Ottawa companies choose Orbit 

CFO insight that rests on solid books

All requests, uploads, and approvals happen in the Orbit Portal—no email chasing.

Cash-flow clarity

Scalable finance function
From startups to SMBs, our fractional CFO offers financial projections and strategic plans that scale with your business.

Our process rhythm

  • Quarterly: Strategy checkpoint & scenario refresh
  • Ad-hoc: Lender/board prep, hiring/pricing evaluations, funding decisions

Orbit Accountants vs. Alternatives 

Vs. Part-Time Advisors or Consultants

Advisors often provide one-off guidance or reports, but they’re not embedded in your monthly financial cycle. Orbit’s fractional CFO service delivers ongoing financial models, forecasts, and strategy reviews tied directly to your numbers.

Vs. In-House CFO Hire

A full-time CFO is powerful but expensive, often out of reach for startups and SMBs. Orbit fractional CFOs provide senior-level expertise, strategic decision support, and capital-raising readiness—at a fraction of the cost.

Vs. Audit-First Firms

Audit-driven firms are built for compliance, not growth. They’re slower, costlier, and focus on year-end. Orbit fractional CFOs focus on forward-looking financial projections, scenario planning, and real-time decision support.

Vs. Software Dashboards

Dashboards show charts, not context. Orbit fractional CFOs interpret the data, highlight risks and opportunities, and guide leadership teams to act with confidence.

How it works

1. Discovery call 

We start with a discovery call to learn your business model, entities, reporting needs, and existing finance stack.

2. Tailored Proposal

You’ll get a clear, fixed-fee proposal with scope and timelines. If cleanup is needed, we include that upfront so there are no surprises.

3. Close Discipline Setup

In the first month we establish the monthly close rhythm—cut-off policies, reconciliations, coding standards, and system integrations.

 4. KPI & Model Setup
We define your KPIs, targets, and financial models. Dashboards and reports are aligned to your growth goals and strategic plans.

5. CFO Cadence
We roll into the recurring rhythm: monthly reviews, ad-hoc decision support, and quarterly deep dives into financial performance and strategy.

6. Year-End & Beyond
Every month’s work is audit-ready. At year-end we assemble a clean package for your CPA and continue scaling your finance function as your business grows

  • Financials: P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Snapshot—on time.
