Background

About Trish Fournier

Long-term optimized success requires sound financial strategy, but few small to medium-sized businesses have the resources to bring on a full-time CFO or senior manager. At South Coast Advisory Solutions, we bridge this crucial gap with executive-level strategic management and coaching services that will help you maximize your growth potential. South Coast is a senior management advisory firm based in Norfolk County, Ontario. Our services draw from our more than 20 years of experience in executive and financial services. Unlike many traditional consultancies, South Coast becomes part of your team on a periodic basis, for as long as you need us. In this rapidly changing business environment, many business owners find that they are being pulled away from where they have the most impact in their business. We are here to change that. Working with a Senior Management Advisor can transform your business for the better. Our focus, whether we’re partnering with you as a CFO-for-hire, strategic advisor or management coach, is on building a true working relationship. With expertise in capital asset and expenditure assessment; business strategy planning; risk management and business performance improvement, I can add over 20 years of financial and executive experience to your team. I am a results-driven, highly adaptable and strategic senior executive with a strong track record of delivering growth, solving complex challenges, and driving successful, sustainable change. Over the course of my career I have served as a Board Director, CFO and CEO, helping to steer companies through the many hazards of successful money management. I believe it is vitally important to be active in both my community and in the industry I operate business in, thus, I dedicate my time to several groups and/or initiatives that promote and improve entrepreneurship such as the Norfolk County's Agricultural Advisory Board and the Norfolk County Economic Recovery Taskforce. I am also currently Past Chair of Agriculture Credit Corporation, which is a not-for-profit farm organization comprised of 19 producer associations and marketing boards. ACC offers low cost operating loans to producers in 3 provinces. Since its inception, ACC has provided in excess of three billion dollars in operating funds to Canadian producers.
