Northlight Advisory Services · How We Work With You
Fractional COO, AI Advisory, and Purpose-Built Tools for Canadian Small Business
We work with Canadian founders and operators who need clear thinking they can act on — not a framework, not a roadmap, not a consultant. Every engagement is structured around your specific situation.
Northlight Advisory Services is a Halifax, Nova Scotia–based fractional COO and AI adoption advisory practice for Canadian small businesses, founded by Elizabeth Lemoine. Services include strategic advisory, operations restructuring, AI adoption planning, and purpose-built software tools for the Canadian market.
The Problem
You're running a business without someone accountable for how it operates — making strategic decisions without a clear outside view, trying to evaluate AI tools without a plan that fits your regulatory context, and dealing with processes that were built for where you were, not where you're going.
Advisory
Fractional Advisory Engagements
Strategy, operations, and AI adoption advisory — delivered as a part-time, embedded engagement. You get someone who understands both the strategic and operational layers, and stays accountable for the outcome.
A Northlight advisory engagement starts with a $99 Clarity Call — a focused 60-minute session to define your challenge and determine whether an engagement is the right fit. From there, scope and structure are built around your specific situation. Northlight works with Canadian organisations typically under 50 people navigating a strategic or operational inflection point.
What's Included
Bespoke Engagements
Advisory engagements are not packages. They are structured around your specific challenge — whether that's a growth inflection point, an AI adoption programme, an operational restructure, or a regulatory shift that requires clear direction. Northlight Advisory Services works with organisations typically under 50 people navigating a moment that requires more than a consultant.
Elizabeth Lemoine brings 10+ years of director-level operations experience — 300+ initiatives across 115+ countries — and stays invested in what you're building.
Start Here
Clarity Call
A focused 60-minute working session. We'll define your challenge, identify where Northlight can help, and outline what an engagement would look like — with no pressure to proceed. The Clarity Call fee applies as a credit if you move forward.
