Our focus is on examining a group of Riordan arrays in which each member is represented by a triple of power series that is called an almost-Riordan array. If we take a triple of power series that is chosen as a q-function, we identify the q-analogue of the almost-Riordan arrays called q-almost Riordan arrays. In addition, we obtain the fundamental theorem for q-almost Riordan arrays (FTqARA). For suitably chosen pairs of q-almost Riordan arrays, new formulas for the multiplication of any q-almost Riordan arrays are obtained. Finally, with the help of the FTqARA, the generating functions for some row sums of q-almost Riordan matrices are derived.
