Western Canadian Advertising Agency
“Osborne worked with the Chief Financial Officer of a well-established Western Canadian advertising agency to review financial statements, financial forecasts and associated documentation to provide financial acumen and advice regarding current business challenges and their interrelationship. The Principal encouraged open communication of the various issues and was a sounding board for the executive team to review and clarify financial impacts of organization complexity. The result was we were able to move forward on some difficult decisions.”
Georg Paffrath
Chairman of the Board

It was both an effective and efficient process.”
