Finance & operations · Victoria, BC · English, Português & Español
I help growing companies get their numbers, processes and planning in order. And when a spreadsheet stops being enough, I build the tool.
What I do
For founders, operators and boards who need the numbers right and the operation planned, without hiring a full-time finance team.
A finance lead on part-time terms: reporting, controls, budgets and board-ready numbers.
Aligning your goals, processes and tools in one direction: finding the bottlenecks, stopping the leaks, and setting up what's ready to automate.
For small manufacturers: what to make, what to buy, and what it does to cash over the next 13 weeks.
Models proven in Excel first, then turned into reliable apps your team can actually use.
How I work
Start from how the business really runs: the people, the data, the decisions that keep getting made on gut feel.
Build the logic where it's easy to check. Every number explains itself, so the team trusts it.
Hand over a routine, a model or a tool that keeps working after I leave.
Selected work
Finance and administration for multiple business units: budget planning and performance tracking, cash-flow management, and connecting each unit's systems to the accounting ERP.
Result: A full remap of finance and accounting processes that cut journal-entry posting time by 40%, saving 20 hours a month.
Connected production, inventory and cash in one weekly plan: what to make, how much stock to hold, and what each decision does to the bank balance.
Result: Inventory costs cut by 18%, turning stock on the shelf back into working cash.
Reconciled the books to the year-end statements, then set up financial KPIs and FP&A reporting, mapped how cash moves through the company, and analyzed margins by product.
Result: A sales strategy refocused on the highest-margin products, lifting gross margin by 12%.

I'm a finance and operations consultant based in Victoria, BC, with 21 years of experience. More than 15 of those were in manufacturing, including about 10 in the automotive industry, with automakers and auto-parts suppliers.
Today I work with clients in Canada and Latin America, in English, Portuguese and Spanish, on budgets, cash flow, reporting and the processes behind them. When a spreadsheet stops being enough, I build the tool. That's how CTE Flow and Ramona Planner started.
Good decisions need three things: people, process and numbers.
