A trusted introduction for leaders when they need clarity, direction, and hands-on support — fast.

Tideway steps into businesses during moments of transition, growth, or overwhelm. If you know a leader who needs senior support, your introduction is in good hands.

  • Fractional Leadership - Part-time CFO, COS, and operational leadership with a full-time level of ownership.

    Interim Coverage - Rapid parachute-in support when a leader resigns, during recruitment, or while stabilizing the finance or operations function.

    Project-Based Advisory - Targeted work such as diagnostics, cash flow support, reporting clean-ups, budgeting & forecasting, org design, or decision-ready analysis.

    Additional services, including talent support and leadership development, are introduced when relevant as part of broader client engagements.

  • Founder-led and family-owned businesses, typically $10M–$50M+ in revenue, where growth or complexity has outpaced internal leadership capacity and decision-making remains concentrated with the owner.

    In select cases, Tideway also works with smaller companies where the complexity, pace of change, or stakes require senior-level support.

  • The 1:1 Strategy Session. For owners who need clarity before committing to anything larger, Tideway offers a focused 1:1 working session. We help leaders:

    • untangle what’s actually happening

    • identify the highest-impact priorities

    • understand what support is needed (and what isn’t)

    • leave with clear next steps

    Many introductions start here — and lead naturally into interim, fractional, or project-based support when appropriate.

    No pressure. Just clarity.

    • is in a transition (new leadership, gaps, rapid change)

    • needs a trusted partner to help the owner move from firefighting to sustainable leadership and decision capacity

    • needs senior finance/ops oversight but not a full-time hire

    • wants clarity on numbers, cash flow, or operational structure

    • is overwhelmed by growth, complexity, or decision-making

    • needs interim leadership while recruiting (CFO, Controller, Operations)

    • has a messy finance environment and doesn’t know where to start

    • wants experienced help to hire finance or operations talent

    • needs a neutral, trusted advisor to support the owner directly

  • Your introduction will be treated with care, discretion, and zero pressure.

    Tideway always:

    • responds within 24 hours
    • offers a no-cost discovery
    • makes you look good by delivering clarity and clear next steps
    • keeps you in the loop only if appropriate

  • How to introduce Tideway:

    Tideway helps businesses that have outgrown their existing leadership capacity. By blending strategic finance, structured execution, and owner support through a CFO and COS lens.

A Note From Alyssa

FRACTIONAL CFO | STRATEGIC ADVISORY | CALGARY, CANADA

Thank you for taking the time to consider Tideway. I always appreciate introductions to other operators, investors, and advisors working with founder-led and owner- operated businesses.

This page provides a short overview of Tideway and how I typically support companies navigating growth, transition, or complexity.

If a situation comes up where an extra set of experienced hands could be helpful, I’m always happy to have an initial conversation.
