The Team Behind Ledgerive.
Ledgerive is the outsourced finance arm of Arbutus Management Consulting Ltd. — an ACCA-qualified team delivering CPA-backed Fractional CFO, bookkeeping, business plan and financial modeling services to Ontario startups and SMBs, with senior expertise on every engagement and no junior handoffs.
Senior Finance Leadership, Delivered Fractionally.
Ledgerive was built on a simple premise: growing businesses need the same calibre of financial leadership as large enterprises, without the cost of a full-time hire. We're the outsourced financial reporting and advisory arm of Arbutus Management Consulting Ltd., a firm built around ACCA-qualified professionals who have spent over a decade designing high-performing financial frameworks and managing global accounting operations across multiple international jurisdictions.
That experience shapes how we work. We don't hand engagements to junior staff and disappear — every client works directly with a senior finance professional who understands their industry, their stage, and what their bank, investors or franchisor actually need to see. From cloud-based bookkeeping operations to custom FP&A and financial modeling, our goal is the same on every engagement: translate complex financial data into clean, actionable strategy that growing businesses can act on.
Today, Ledgerive serves startups and SMBs across Ontario — from SaaS and fintech to franchises, construction, healthcare and beyond — with the same fixed-fee, senior-led approach that built our reputation.
