I am an enthusiastic, versatile, hands-on and strategic senior executive with experience in financial management, quality assurance, governance, and operations management for private and public companies in many industries, sized from very small to extremely large, and across 3 continents. I partner with businesses to help them grow and succeed; people working together toward a common vision accomplish more. Several clients have derived the greatest value from jointly analyzing their business, identifying easily achievable adjustments, key business drivers to track, and achieved efficient growth, even in difficult economic conditions, without the need for complex sales or marketing. On a team, effectively engaging all members, developing and mentoring, and encouraging effective communication contribute to bottom-line performance and employee engagement. I specialize in 3 areas: ▶ CLARITY, VISIBILITY and EFFICIENCY: I implement accounting and finance systems, or reengineer existing reports and statements, create metrics and charts to highlight and analyze performance, trends and strategies. Clarity of cash flows is an area I consider to be especially important. For a public manufacturer, I analyzed performance in detail (including product, customer, and department) and created tools for daily cash management to achieve a radical turnaround and profitable emergence from bankruptcy. For a power generation company and a public IT and SaaS company implementing new ERP systems and enhanced internal, external and board reporting highlighted performance, improved profitability over 200%, improved cash management, and created efficiency in the preparation and filing of reports. ▶ FUNDING, CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS and DUE DILIGENCE: I create business plans, financial models, investor information sheets and packages for raising debt, equity and grant funding, as well as for acquisition, restructure and disposal of entities and assets. When desired I accompany clients in meetings and manage data rooms for due diligence. For a construction company I closed two government grants and 7 debt instruments to fund capital projects. In aerospace I renegotiated, and later redeemed, all secured debt, raised new funding through unsecured lines of credit, two equity raises, two government grants and a large interest free loan. For an oilfield service group I negotiated and closed on the sale of a subsidiary, and in logistics merged entities. ▶ PROFITABILITY and RISK: I develop strategies for profitable business and for identification and management of risk. I drove growth and strategic realignment, added clients 2.5 times larger and doubled ongoing services in a financial service group. For a not-for-profit entity and a public company I introduced a risk assessment process reported to the boards of directors. For an international public group I development and implemented policies and procedures to ensure consistent standards, reporting and practices among subsidiaries (including bribery, corruption, privacy standards and international law). I renegotiated 26 insurance policies and created methodology to minimize risk and cost. I also have extensive experience in: ▶ Systems and processes ▶ People development ▶ Financial mentor and training ▶ Dashboards for strategic, board of directors, executive, operational or tactical purposes ▶ Strategic planning ▶ Development and implementation of financial policies and procedures ▶ Project tenders ▶ Project management My services include: • Fractional CFO (or FD) - ongoing, Interim, or Part-Time • Financial management • Cash Management • Management, Public and Board Reporting • Company Dashboard or KPI Creation and Enhancement • Financial Systems Assessment and Improvement • Forecasting, Budgeting and Business Planning • Financial Planning and Analysis • Investor and Funder Presentations • Process Design and Re-engineering • Turnarounds, Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestment support • Due Diligence • Corporate and Board Governance • Independent Director • Policies and Procedures • Risk Management and Business Continuity Planning • Fundraising Support • Pitch decks and raises • Business Proposal and Grant Writing • Contract Negotiations • Project Management • Accounting System Setup and Upgrades • Chart of Accounts Setup and Improvements My industry experience includes: ▶ Aerospace ▶ Computer software, hardware and SaaS ▶ Food manufacturing ▶ Health insurance and service ▶ International trade ▶ Manufacturing ▶ Medical services ▶ Not-for-profit ▶ Oil and gas ▶ Oilfield services ▶ Payroll and benefits service ▶ Power generation ▶ Professional services ▶ Transportation and logistics (intermodal) ▶ Utilities, and ▶ Many others.

Hello! Are you a Solopreneur/Small Business that is overwhelmed with the plethora of tasks that it takes to keep up with your business/passion? Let me help - I’m equal parts creative and organized. Working with startups & smaller businesses has given me years of experience in streamlining processes and establishing best practices - to scale a business, it’s imperative to get essential processes right every time. My small business experience was with a single company working in a variety of positions, including process improvement, employee onboarding/training, investor presentations, business analysis, and software system setup/administration. The last 4 years of my professional career have been remote. I’m confident in my ability to remain professional, communicative, and prompt in such a setting. I thrive when learning new business models, systems, and adapting to changing environments. Innovation is my happy place, and I see it as a form of creativity. I want to learn the overall big picture of your business and understand your pain points. I excel at identifying ways I can assist and/or streamline the parts of your business that you loathe so that you can focus on the areas that energize you & move your business forward. If you are ready to let go of doing it all yourself. Let’s talk!

"Absolutely amazing, prompt, organized, very easy to work with, she was a complete life saver managing so many details for my project!" Are you looking for less overwhelm and more intention for your business? Uhmm yes, please! There are people who manage projects and then there are project managers.. Do you know the difference? Both will bring you value but depending on how complex and complicated your project is, - the ‘who’ will directly affect your project outcomes. Some examples of those outcomes might be: ✅ Prolonged project timelines ✅ Risk & opportunities not realized or vetted ✅ Increased budgets An effective project manager will: ✅ Be able to see the big picture and provide strategic alignment with company goals ✅ Bring leadership and unite team members ✅ Bring focus and clarity to project vision, goals, and priorities ✅ Work with cross-functional, remote and diverse management to properly plan and budget for project timelines ✅ Ensure quality is being delivered and continually assessed ✅ Ask the right questions, ensuring risks are identified & quantified, developing risk mitigation and contingency plans ✅ Will ensure continuous oversight to project progress and reporting Work will never be the same, the pandemic has normalized remote work in many industries. Yet the shift has also had massive impacts on companies. We have learned we can accomplish most tasks remotely and that many employees appreciate the flexibility, especially those with long commute times. However, the past months have shown that much communication and interaction is required more than ever to facilitate collaboration, build relationships, solve complex challenges and generate ideas. Queue the importance of a good project manager who can bring all these facets together. Let me tell you a bit about me. ✅ I am a proficient and results-driven IT professional ✅ I have been a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) for 15+ years ✅ I possess extensive experience in practical and theoretical application of project management methodologies ✅ I am adept in developing project plans that are strategic and align with business needs, ensuring products and services meet customer needs and corporate goals ✅ I am a team player with strong leadership, analytical, problem solving, decision making and management skills "We hired Deborah to help manage a large, global client program - for the second year in a row. Will definitely hire again." "Consistently great work and high praise from clients. Thank you." "The best part of this freelancer is her ability to cut through the analysis and provide great summaries. Looking forward to working her further." What does this mean to you? ✅ With over 25 years of project management experience, you will always receive quality work ✅ 12 years experience as a freelance project manager, the past 5 years have been 100% managing remote, global teams (meaning…I got you! I’ve been doing this longer than the pandemic) ✅ You will achieve critical deadlines ✅ Your customer satisfaction is always my top goal ✅ Building long-lasting relationships and facilitating team collaboration is key to project outcomes Customers I’ve had the opportunity to provide my professional expertise to include: ARO Communications, Delta Airlines, Johnson & Johnson, TELUS, NavCanada, Calgary International Airport, CN Rail, Alberta Health Services, California State Automobile Association, Bank of Montreal.
