Some owners want full outsourcing. Others want to stay hands-on, with a pro on speed dial. Advisory from Tenley Consulting Inc. is that middle ground: monthly or quarterly check-ins, task lists, and guidance on bookkeeping, payroll questions, and filings, so you are not Googling tax deadlines at midnight.
Melissa brings close to 20 years of experience and a warm, practical style. Think sounding board meets accountability partner, based in Saskatoon, SK.

Q: Is Advisory the same as DIY Support?
A: Related but a different shape. Advisory is conversation- and review-led. DIY Support subscriptions (Pro $99 / Power $199) are ongoing plans where you keep doing the books and Melissa supports you on a set rhythm - sign up at plans.tenleyconsulting.com.
Q: Can I just book a one-off call?
A: Yes. Discovery is free (30 minutes). Virtual calls are $85 (60 minutes). Standard in-person calls are $100 (60 minutes).
Q: Will you tell me if I should outsource instead?
A: Absolutely. Fit comes first. If full-cycle bookkeeping or payroll would serve you better, we will say so.
Q: What software do you coach in?
A: QuickBooks Online is primary. Payroll guidance draws on experience with most payroll providers.
