Here's what some of the companies we're working with have to say about our fractional CFO services

As Invero continues to grow, the need for someone other than the CEO to oversee the financial matters of the company was apparent.

We were seeking help from a company and an individual who could work on a part time basis to advise me, the CEO, and get involved in strategic matters to further the company's growth plan.

Kara James has become our part-time CFO and she has done a great job of fitting into the leadership team as if she's a fulltime member. Kara has demonstrated that she is committed to our success as an organization by investing the time up front to get to know how our business and our industry works, which ultimately has given her the knowledge required to advise us on how to keep the company's financial health in order. The experience that Kara brings from other industries over the course of her career has provided valuable insights that we may not have otherwise uncovered. I truly appreciate our partnership with Kara.

~ Craig Slack, CEO, Invero Digital


Kara excelled in her CFO role with Sysco, exhibiting one of the highest levels of productivity, I have seen over my 21 years with the company.

Kara approached the business with a balance of detailed analysis and strategic financial vision.  She took the time to engage with and develop an intimate understanding of all departments in the company.  Kara identified problems and opportunities, and followed up with recommended courses of action that helped accelerate company performance.  Her engaging personal style and ability to listen enables her to collaborate effectively with peers, staff, and customers a like! She is very well organized and keeps track of the details necessary to coordinate and run an extremely efficient finance department.

Very proactive in anticipating my needs as President, Kara takes the initiative to go above and beyond the expected parameters of her job.  As a President, I considered Kara to be one of my most valued business partners and I am grateful I had the opportunity to work with her.  I am confident that she has the experience, work ethic, and communication skills to add value to any company.

~ Dave Stephenson, President, Sysco Alberta


Kara provides us with the financial insights we need to determine our most profitable path for moving forward.

She has been a valuable second set of eyes on the financial and operational aspects of our business and Kara’s expert consultation and detailed analysis provide me with the visibility I need to make the right strategic decisions for our company. Kara’s personal engagement in our business has made her a valuable and trusted member for the Hypercharge Networks team.
