AJM Solutions — Find where the money’s leaking, and where it’s waiting | Calgary Fractional CFO
Fractional CFO & operational advisory — Calgary, Alberta

You’ve had enough reports. We find where the money’s leaking — and where it’s waiting. We prove it. Then we stay.

Most advisors show up after the decision’s made, hand you a binder, and leave. By then a buyer or lender has already found your number — and priced it against you. We go into the operational data first, prove the fix on your own numbers before a dollar moves, and stay until it shows up in your financials.

No binder. We prove the number first — then you decide. Your data under NDA · a number in 1–2 weeks · no obligation.

Led by a 35-year CFO — CPA · CMA · MBA · ICD.D. Senior operators only. No junior analysts.

A buyer, a lender, an acquirer — someone is going to find your number and price it against you. The only question is whether you find it first.

What we find

The money’s leaking somewhere, and it’s waiting somewhere else. We name both — on your numbers.

Every operation hides both.

The cost nobody can see, and the value nobody’s captured. We find both in your own data, put a number on each, and show you which ones are worth chasing.

Leaking — the cost you can’t see

Between your branches

  • The same item stocked and reordered at several branches at different prices
  • Inventory sitting in the wrong building
  • Freight shuffled between your own sites, uncosted
  • Working capital trapped, branch by branch
Waiting — the value you haven’t captured

Left on the table

  • Working capital you could free
  • Utilization you could lift
  • Margin the operation is leaving behind
  • A valuation a buyer would pay more for
How we find it

We rebuild your operation on your own data and prove the saving before anything moves.

We model your operation before you move — not after you’ve spent.

Most tools show you what you already spent. We build a working model of your operation on your own numbers, find the leak and the better setup, and prove the saving before a dollar moves or a route changes.

The problem

The decision gets priced too late

The field commits the spend; the office sees it at reconciliation — long after it can be shaped. On a turnkey job the operator eats the variance; on a normal order, you do. Same leak, every order.

The shift

Prove the fix in the model first

We model the cost and logistics around what you already do best — you run your operation, we model the rest — so the optimal setup is proven on your own numbers before you touch the floor.

Over 50% of a freight network’s cost — found in the model, before a single route changed.

Senior operators run the model — not a dashboard we hand you and walk away from. The live budget-vs-actual view is the payoff once the plan’s in motion, never the product.

Where we work

Operators who know something is wrong — or something is coming.

We work owner-led businesses — roughly $20M to $150M in revenue — where the numbers are hiding in the operation, not the ledger. Three markets, one pattern: the leak that commits in the field and surfaces too late.

Oil & Gas Services

Field services, equipment, and specialty operators where margin and utilization live in the yard and the schedule — not the P&L.

Trucking & Logistics

Fleets and freight networks sitting on their own route, cost, and utilization data — where a validated model changes the economics.

Fuel & Industrial Distribution

Multi-branch distributors where the same working capital, freight, and inventory decisions repeat across every location.

Who you’ll work with

No junior analysts. No relationship managers.

The people who scope your engagement are the people in your data.
