First Professionals Management Services
Practical financial management support for First Nations and Indigenous organizations.
Strong financial management helps leadership understand where things stand, plan for what comes next, and make informed decisions. Frosty Squirrel works with First Nations and Indigenous organizations to support their finance teams, strengthen processes, and help address the financial work in front of them.
Every organization has its own priorities, responsibilities, and way of working. The scope of support starts with a conversation about your needs and the people and processes already in place.
First Professionals Management Services
The following management services can be tailored to your organization:
Financial management: Fractional controller or Director of Finance support, financial reporting, and assistance with day-to-day accounting matters.
Budgets and cash flow: Help prepare and monitor budgets, cash-flow forecasts, and financial projections.
Policies and processes: Review and improve financial procedures, internal controls, and approval workflows.
Audit preparation: Assistance organizing records, addressing accounting issues, and preparing information for your independent auditor.
Accounting systems and automation: Identify repetitive work and opportunities to make financial processes more reliable and manageable while ensuring digitization of workflows.
Working with your team
Support can be tailored to an ongoing need or a specific challenge. We begin by discussing your priorities, current processes, and the responsibilities your team would like help with. From there, we agree on the work and how it will fit alongside your team’s existing responsibilities.
Adrian’s experience includes accounting and audit work with Indigenous organizations, municipalities, and not-for-profit organizations across northern and western Canada. Frosty Squirrel provides management and accounting support; an independent auditor is responsible for conducting an audit and issuing an audit opinion.
