What it costs, in plain CAD.
No US-dollar ranges. No it depends runaround. Here are the actual numbers, and what moves them.
Fixed fees in Canadian dollars.
| Engagement | Price (CAD, plus HST) | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Audit | $750, fixed | Always first. The map before any build or retainer. |
| Jobber Sprint | $2,500 to $3,000 | Home-service shop on Jobber and QuickBooks Online. |
| Procore Integration | $4,000 to $6,000 | GC or civil on Procore that needs WIP. |
| ServiceTitan Build | $5,000 to $8,000 | Service business on ServiceTitan. |
| Fractional CFO retainer | $2,500 to $5,000 a month | Ongoing strategy once the data is clean. |
You buy judgment, not overhead.
A full-time CFO in Ontario runs well into six figures once you add benefits and bonus. That is out of reach and over-built for a $2M to $20M company. Fractional means you buy the senior judgment for the few days a month you actually need it. And I start with a fixed-fee audit so the numbers, not a sales pitch, tell you whether it is worth it.
One fix usually covers the fee.
One re-priced service rate, one loss-making customer dropped, one holdback released faster, one financing rate negotiated down. Any single one of these usually covers the monthly fee. Not sure what you need yet? See fractional CFO versus bookkeeper versus controller.
