About

I’m Cynthia Araman, a finance and corporate legal operations professional based in Montreal. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve supported law firm and business operations by combining strong financial leadership with practical corporate governance knowledge—covering budgeting, reporting, cash flow, billing and collections, payroll administration, and trust/account compliance.

I also coordinate complex corporate matters end-to-end, including incorporations, reorganizations, asset and share purchase transactions, due diligence support, and the ongoing administration of minute books and shareholder/director resolutions. I’m known for building efficient internal controls, improving business processes, and acting as a trusted partner to management, legal professionals, clients, and external stakeholders to support growth and regulatory compliance.
