Operations & Finance Consulting for Creative Businesses
Your back office,
finally working
for you.
Wherever you are — just starting out, scaling fast, or ready to get serious about your numbers — we build the financial and operational infrastructure that lets your creative business actually run.
Who We Are
Not your average
consulting firm.
Most creative business owners didn't start their business to manage spreadsheets, reconcile accounts, or figure out which software actually talks to each other. That's where we come in.
Canopy Creative Co is an operations and finance consultancy built specifically for creative businesses. We cover the full back office — from keeping your books clean and your taxes filed, to building the systems and infrastructure that let you grow without the chaos.
Hourly, on-demand, and always transparent. No bloated retainers, no mystery pricing, no surprise scope creep. Just the work your business actually needs.
Three ways we can work together.
