FRACTIONAL FINANCIAL LEADERSHIP · CALGARY, ALBERTA

You have the numbers.
But you still don’t have the answers.

Your bookkeeper keeps the records current. Your tax accountant handles your tax and compliance work - but who is helping you understand the numbers, plan ahead, and make better financial decisions?

Aperio Advisory provides fractional financial management support for growing businesses — helping leadership with cash flow planning, budgeting, forecasting, financial processes, and decision support.

Working with Aperio
Your numbers make sense — what they mean, not just what they are.
Cash stops being a surprise — you see problems weeks before they arrive.
Big decisions get easier — hire, invest, borrow — with numbers behind the answer.
Your bank sees a prepared client — not someone reacting to a problem.
The Sunday night worry eases — someone is finally watching the whole picture.
How We Bridge the Gap

Financial leadership for businesses scaling through operational complexity.

We work with growing businesses scaling up to $20M to bring structure, visibility, and forward-looking financial planning into day-to-day management. The goal is simple: help leadership plan cash requirements, evaluate scenarios, monitor performance, and make informed business decisions.

Unlock

Fix cash flow blind spots. Stop worrying about next month’s payroll or wondering where revenue went. We isolate where capital is trapped in your day-to-day operations, clearing out immediate bottlenecks so you can finally breathe easier.

Strengthen

Eliminate the guesswork. Moving fast shouldn’t mean flying blind. We replace loose habits and late-night bank balance checking with trusted 13-week forecasting, giving you total visibility to make decisions on real data.

Scale

Grow with confidence. Scaling a business creates intense operational pressure. We build the professional financial systems required to back your next major milestones—whether that’s hiring leadership, expansion, or planning an exit.

"Your business isn't the issue — you just don't have the clarity you need to make decisions on purpose."
Who We Help

Does any of this sound familiar?

You're running a real business — but the financial side hasn't kept up.

When cash is always tight

Revenue is strong — but the money never seems to be there.

  • Profitable on paper, stressed about cash every month
  • Line of credit feels like a necessity, not a safety net
  • Making big decisions with incomplete information
  • Tax payments are a surprise instead of something you've planned for.
When you've outgrown your bookkeeper

Growing fast — but flying without instruments.

  • Your bookkeeper keeps the records current — nobody is helping you use them to plan ahead.
  • No real budget — just watching the bank account
  • The bank wants better reporting than you can produce
  • You want a financial partner, not just a record-keeper

Why Aperio

The financial partner most growing businesses have never had.

Most business owners are excellent at what they do. The gap isn't capability — it's clarity in the numbers that drive decisions.

Craig Rowan has spent 20 years in corporate finance, treasury, and banking. He founded Aperio to bridge the gap between bookkeeping and tax services for businesses between $1M and $20M in revenue. Aperio provides the financial leadership in between — helping owners understand their numbers, manage cash flow, plan ahead, and make better business decisions.

Built for growing businesses

We work with businesses where growth is real and financial decisions are becoming harder to manage day-to-day.

Clear, practical guidance

Two decades of corporate finance experience, translated into decisions you can actually use.

Direct access

You work directly with Craig on every engagement. No handoffs, no layers — just consistent support.
