Building Better Business Plans Since 2019
We started arialeonix because too many Canadian businesses were struggling with financial planning that didn't actually reflect how they operated. Real companies need practical tools, not generic templates.
Why We Exist
Back in early 2019, we noticed something. Small business owners across Ontario kept asking the same questions about cash flow projections and budget planning. The existing software either cost too much or required an accounting degree to understand.
So we built something different. arialeonix focuses on helping businesses create financial plans that actually make sense. Not fancy dashboards with fifty metrics nobody checks. Just clear projections and realistic planning tools that help you make better decisions.
We've worked with manufacturing companies in Kingston, retail shops in Toronto, and service businesses throughout the region. Each one taught us something about what actually matters when you're planning your finances.
What Guides Our Work
These aren't motivational posters on the wall. This is how we actually operate every day.
Practical Over Perfect
A decent plan you'll actually use beats a perfect plan that sits in a drawer. We build tools that fit into how you already work, not force you to change everything.
Real Numbers Matter
We don't promise that our planning tools will double your revenue or guarantee success. Good financial planning helps you spot problems early and make informed choices. That's valuable enough on its own.
Learning As We Go
Every client teaches us something new about business planning challenges. We update our approach based on what actually works in real companies, not what sounds good in theory.
Honest Conversations
Sometimes the best advice is "you're not ready for this yet" or "that won't work for your situation." We'd rather have those conversations early than waste your time and money.
How We Actually Help
Most business planning services either give you a template to fill out yourself or charge thousands for a consultant to create something you'll never look at again.
We sit somewhere in between. You get planning tools designed specifically for Canadian small businesses, with guidance that makes sense for your industry. No filler. No generic advice you could find anywhere.
- Cash flow projections that account for seasonal variation and payment terms
- Budget planning that connects to how you actually track expenses
- Scenario modeling for when you need to test different growth options
- Regular check-ins to adjust your plan as your business changes
We typically work with businesses for 6-12 months. Not because we lock you into contracts, but because that's how long it usually takes to build a planning system that really works for your situation.
Who You'll Work With
Desmond Ramirez
Lead Planning Consultant
Desmond spent eight years doing financial planning for mid-size manufacturers before joining arialeonix in 2021. He's particularly good at helping businesses figure out whether they can afford to hire, expand, or invest in new equipment. His background in operations means he gets frustrated by planning tools that ignore how businesses actually function. Most of our current approach to cash flow modeling came from conversations with Desmond about what his previous clients actually needed versus what consultants typically provided.
