About
Senior financial leadership. Practical industrial perspective.
Travis Lindgren brings senior finance experience across industrial businesses and mission-driven organizations, with practical exposure to Canadian and U.S. operations.
His fractional CFO work with the CTS Group of Companies has included six Canadian and U.S. operating entities with approximately $60 million in combined revenue, supporting project accounting, pricing, cash-flow planning, management reporting and financial oversight.
Travis holds an MBA, CPA designation and Yale Executive Management Certificate. He has also held finance leadership roles in the nonprofit sector, including serving as CFO of Inuuqatigiit Centre, an Inuit-serving organization, and has worked with boards, funders, auditors and management teams in complex stakeholder environments.
Northern Lights Advisory Group brings this experience together to help businesses evaluate Canadian growth opportunities and build the commercial and financial foundations needed to pursue them. Northern Lights Advisory Group also works with international organizations seeking to invest, establish operations and deploy capital in Canada.
Canada is a demanding place to establish in—costs, distances, provincial and territorial differences and long decision cycles all add up. Travis brings a deep working understanding of that environment, along with connections to individuals, businesses, industry organizations and government at the municipal, provincial, territorial and federal levels.
The practice is founder-led and supported by a field of qualified specialists—legal, tax, engineering, logistics, regulatory and recruitment—brought in only where an assignment requires them. Those relationships help open the right conversations; they are never offered as a shortcut to contracts, approvals or consent.

His experience includes finance leadership in an Inuit-serving organization, work with boards, funders and auditors, and collaboration with specialist advisors where legal, regulatory, technical or tax questions require qualified expertise.
