I have spent fifteen years in the controller’s chair. Now I bring it to your business.

For fifteen years I was the person businesses turned to when they needed to know what their numbers actually meant. Not to file a return after the fact, but to see what was coming and decide what to do about it.

I have held Controller, Director of Finance, and Financial Analyst roles at roughly ten companies across many different industries. I have built the management reports owners used to make real decisions, mapped cash forward so payroll was never a surprise, closed month-ends under pressure, untangled messy ledgers, and presented to boards. I have watched what happens to a business when its numbers are reliable, and what happens when they are not.

That breadth is the product. A specialist has seen one kind of business a hundred times. I have seen many kinds of businesses from the inside, at the senior level, and that perspective comes with every engagement. When your numbers move, I have usually seen that movie before, and I can tell you how it tends to end.

I hold a CPA designation and an MBA in Finance from the University of Manitoba. I started Advantage Books because there is a whole band of Winnipeg businesses, doing $1M to $10M, that genuinely needs a controller but cannot justify a full-time one. They are too big to fly on gut feel and too small for a six-figure hire. That gap is exactly what a fractional controller fills.

I have also served on not-for-profit boards, including as a volunteer Board Treasurer at Ronald McDonald House Charities Manitoba, so I know first-hand the reporting that boards and funders expect and what it takes to keep an organization accountable to both.

I work from my home office in Winnipeg. When you call, I answer. The experienced person you meet on day one is the person who does the work.
