Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Fractional CFO do?
A Fractional CFO (aka, Contract, Outsourced or Temporary CFO) is a financial expert, who is able to advise and implement systems to optimize accounting, tax and business strategy, including acting in an advisory capacity. As your ProActive Strategies’ contract CFO, we offer a range of services as CFO Engagements, including Accounting Support, Strategic Tax Planning, and Financial Planning & Modeling. We are your “financial firefighters”!
How does ProActive Strategies differ from the usual Fractional CFO?
We offer so much more than the usual Fractional CFO skillset, accelerating your company into scaling up easier and quicker. “We allow a $20 million company to act like a $200 million company.” - Shane Cormier, ProActive Strategies Founder.
We perform QoE (Quality of Earnings) studies, not just facilitate (like most Fractional CFOs).
We offer software project management, including post-”go live” support for all your financial software implementation.
We have our own proprietary and interactive custom financial modeling system, which can be used to model all company departments, no matter where they are located - from sales to logistics - not only accounting.
What industries do you focus on?

Aerospace
Automotive Extrusion Manufacturing
Construction
Insurance & Underwriting
Logistics
Non-Profit Sector
Software & Technology
