A Winnipeg-based business advisory practice for organizations navigating complexity, change, and growth.

Our Three Pillars

  • Ongoing perspective for the decisions that matter.

    Business advisory services provide long-term, trusted support for owners, founders, executives, and boards. This service is designed for organizations that benefit from an experienced outside perspective as priorities shift, opportunities emerge, and complex decisions need to be made.

    We work alongside your leadership team to clarify priorities, assess options, strengthen plans and systems, and maintain momentum over time. Engagements can support strategy, financial and operational planning, growth, governance, sustainability, performance measurement, and organizational improvement.

    Rather than adding a permanent role before it is needed, you gain flexible access to practical senior-level advisory support that evolves with your organization.

  • Focused expertise, delivered when you need it.

    Project Support is designed for a defined challenge, opportunity, or deliverable. Whether you need to develop a strategic plan, prepare a grant application, assess operations, build a budget or cash-flow forecast, coordinate a project, develop policies, or prepare for growth, Catalyst and Company brings structure and momentum to the work.

    Engagements are tailored to the scope, timeline, and outcome that matter most. You receive practical support for as long as the project requires—without committing to support beyond the work at hand.

    The result is clear: a completed deliverable, a stronger decision, and a practical path forward.

  • Build lasting capacity within your team.

    Workshops provide focused, accessible learning for leaders, staff, boards, and project teams. Each session is designed to turn complex business, financial, operational, sustainability, or governance topics into practical tools participants can use immediately.

    Available as one-time sessions or tailored learning experiences, workshops can support topics such as business planning, budgeting and cash-flow management, strategic decision-making, sustainability and ESG fundamentals, organizational governance, project planning, and performance measurement.

    Participants leave with greater confidence, shared language, and practical next steps, helping your organization strengthen its internal capacity long after the session ends.
