Interim CFO & Controller (fractional CFO / controller services)
When finance leadership capacity is stretched, teams lose visibility and speed. Budgeting and forecasting become reactive, and cash flow uncertainty creates avoidable risk. PKF Antares provides interim CFO/controller support to restore oversight, strengthen planning, and establish a dependable operating rhythm. Leadership can act on accurate information, not guesses.
What this typically includes
- Interim CFO / controller coverage and oversight
- Budgeting and forecasting (short- and mid-term)
- Cash flow planning and working capital visibility
- Close oversight and review discipline
- Leadership-ready reporting pack and action list
Need interim leadership coverage?
If you're making decisions without reliable forecasts or cash flow visibility, we can step in quickly with fractional CFO/controller support.
Accounting & Bookkeeping (outsourced accounting services)
Day-to-day accounting issues compound fast: unreconciled accounts, unclear AP and AR, inconsistent coding, and delayed close. The result is reporting that cannot be trusted.
We deliver outsourced bookkeeping and accounting support to keep records clean, reduce rework, and accelerate the month-end close. Support can be provided on a day-to-day or monthly basis.
What this typically includes:
- Day-to-day bookkeeping and transaction processing
- Account reconciliations and clean-up
- Accounts payable / receivable support
- Monthly or quarterly reporting schedule
- Process standardization and documentation
Behind on reconciliations or month-end close?
If month-end keeps slipping or your books need cleanup, we can stabilize the foundation and get you back to a dependable reporting schedule.
Payroll Management (payroll outsourcing)
Payroll becomes high-risk when processes are inconsistent or documentation is weak. Errors in deductions, remittances, or filings can create disruption and compliance exposure.
We manage payroll processing and key compliance steps to keep payroll accurate, on time, and properly supported, reducing internal admin burden.
What this typically includes:
- Payroll processing and pay cycle management
- Source deductions and remittances
- T4 and ROE filings
- Payroll reporting and documentation support
- Process controls to reduce errors and rework
Payroll issues can't wait.
If payroll administration is pulling focus from operations, we can take it off your plate and improve consistency.
Financial Reporting (management reporting and financial reporting packages)
Reporting is only useful when it is timely, consistent, and decision-ready. Without clear cadence and definitions, teams end up with mismatched numbers and slower execution.
We implement reporting discipline and produce management and financial reporting packages that help leadership track performance and act earlier. This reduces month-end scrambling and last-minute rework.
What this typically includes
- Management reporting cadence (monthly/quarterly)
- Financial reporting packages and schedules
- Variance review framework and commentary support
- Leadership-ready monthly reporting pack
- Documentation designed for stakeholder review
Want decision-ready reporting each month?
We can help you set a cadence and build a reporting pack leadership can trust, with few surprises at month-end.
IFRS Consulting (ASPE to IFRS transition / IFRS adoption)
IFRS adoption and transition work can create disruption if handled late or without structure. Teams need clear guidance, defensible documentation, and a roadmap that fits day-to-day operations. We support IFRS adoption and ASPE to IFRS transition, including stakeholder-ready documentation such as IFRS memos, so management can move forward with clarity and confidence.
What this typically includes:
- IFRS transition guidance, ASPE to IFRS
- IFRS adoption support and impact assessment
- IFRS memo support for management and stakeholders
- Implementation roadmap and reporting impact summary
- Practical guidance aligned to your reporting timeline
Moving toward IFRS reporting?
If stakeholders are asking for IFRS-ready reporting, we can map the path, document key positions, and reduce transition risk.
