Celine works as an extension of your management team by focusing on the below areas of opportunity. Together, we'll define your unique business needs and financial goals to drive long-term growth and success.
Grow Your Business with Strategic Planning & Goal Setting
Every business needs a financial-minded expert to help develop a blueprint and strategic direction that will support goals in the most efficient, accelerated and sustainable way possible.
CMB will work with you to determine what success looks like and build operational capacity to deliver it at any stage of maturity - ultimately increasing shareholder value.
Improve Forecasting with Financial Budgeting & Analysis
A financial roadmap and annual budget will guide your business through periods of growth and uncertainty, keeping you focused on achieving your goals and vision. An effective plan considers external factors and various scenarios to help mitigate risk, while monitoring progress against that plan is critical to understanding financial performance.
CMB captures meaningful data and transforms it into actionable intelligence that decisions makers can use.
CMB will assess the main financial drivers of your bottom line and identify opportunities to optimize them.
​
This includes reviewing revenue & pricing strategies, a deep-dive of major cost drivers, and identifying the true cost of goods sold and product-based margin analysis.

Let's ensure every dollar earned and spent is purposeful.
