CFO‑Level Clarity. Real Financial Execution.
SDF Consulting helps founders and decision‑makers run their entire accounting and finance function with clarity, control, and disciplined cash flow.
We’re not advisors who drop recommendations and disappear.
We take ownership — from day‑to‑day bookkeeping to CFO‑level financial leadership — so the numbers are accurate, actionable, and decision‑ready.
Founded by a Chartered Accountant with 30+ years of hands‑on operational finance experience, SDF Consulting was built to solve a common problem:
Growing businesses struggle not from lack of advice, but from weak financial execution.
What We Do
We manage and strengthen the full finance function, including:
- Full‑cycle bookkeeping and accounting
- Financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting
- Strategic and operational cash‑flow planning
- Month‑end close discipline and process improvement
- Fractional CFO / Controller‑level leadership
All integrated. No silos. No guesswork.
How We’re Different
- Hands‑on, not theoretical
- Cash‑flow focused, not just compliant
- Operator mindset, not consultant language
- Built to scale, not patch problems
Our clients trust us because their financials finally work — and because we operate as an extension of their leadership team.
Who We Serve
Founder‑led small and mid‑market businesses across Canada and the U.S. Typically growing, complexity increasing, and ready for stronger financial control.
A Note from the Founder
I started SDF Consulting after decades inside businesses — leading finance teams, managing cash flow under pressure, and living with the consequences of financial decisions.
What I saw repeatedly was this:
Business owners weren’t failing — their finance function was.
Reports came late. Cash flow was reactive. Decisions were made without full clarity.
SDF Consulting exists to fix that.
My approach is simple:
- Get the numbers right
- Make them timely and understandable
- Turn them into better decisions and stronger cash flow
We don’t just support businesses — we help run the financial engine behind them.
