Aardvark has been incredibly helpful for my creative agency. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and flexible. They’ve helped me troubleshoot small issues, strategize on big moves, and everything in between. Highly recommend Aardvark for other businesses looking to bring stability and profitability to their company.

Alex Roa

Aardvark brings a depth and breadth of advising that has been so valuable to my company! I was searching for financial strategy for my creative agency and they brought near-term modeling, long term thinking, and real time accounting. Absolutely recommend them for any small business that wants to grow and doesn’t have a full-time, in house CFO. Thank you, Aardvark!

Lauren Lee Anderson

After running our brand and design studio for more than 6 years, we were ready to get more serious about our finance and operations. The Aardvark team was immediately solving problems and treating the business like it was their own. I recommend Aardvark to every entrepreneur I know looking for a great, flexible, creative finance partner.

How We Work

We connect operational activities to financial outcomes.

Learn more

We start with a 3-month sprint addressing your biggest problem.

By the end of the first month, we have a complete understanding of the business’s current state, how we got here, and what’s required to move forward.

Month 1

During the first week of engagement, we ratchet up on the analysis we did pre-engagement. We swap questions with spreadsheets, getting access to and an understanding of the technology environments beyond QBO.

From there, we focus on your key issue.

Months 2–3

This is execution time.

We need to start making moves so that the changes can start cycling through the business as quickly as possible.

From there, we continue with ongoing strategic guidance.

This means:

Monthly financial reporting analysis

Operational KPI performance

Balance sheet maintenance

Growth trajectory monitoring

Decision-making guidance and collaboration
