A fractional controller provides executive-level financial leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. Think of it as having a senior financial expert on your team part-time, handling everything from monthly financial reviews to strategic planning. This approach bridges the gap between bookkeeping and CFO-level strategy, making enterprise-quality financial leadership accessible to growing businesses.
A bookkeeper focuses on recording and reconciling financial transactions, ensuring your books are organized, accurate, and up to date.
A fractional controller, however, operates at a more strategic level. Beyond maintaining clean books, we analyze your financials, identify patterns, implement stronger controls, manage accounts payables, manage accounts receivables, manage tax requirements, manage tax planning and help you make informed decisions that support growth and profitability.
We specialize in working with small and mid-sized businesses between $500K and $10M+ in revenue who want growth, not just compliance. Our clients include bootstrapped startups, scaling e-commerce brands, established professional service firms, construction companies, and organizations preparing for funding, acquisition, or requiring tax strategy and accounting system optimization.
We operate at the intersection of controller accuracy and CFO foresight, bringing both technical expertise and strategic vision. Unlike firms that stop at reconciliations and reports, we interpret the numbers to improve operations and profitability. Our team brings CPA credentials, IRS Enrolled Agent status, and entrepreneurial experience—we've walked in your shoes and understand the daily realities of running a business.
We offer both.
One-time and project-based engagementsare ideal for businesses needing cleanup, accounting catch-up, system setup, workflow optimization, or restructuring before scaling.
Ongoing fractional controller supportis for businesses that want continuous oversight, better clarity of numbers, and financial leadership without hiring a full-time controller or CFO.
You can engage us short-term or long-term depending on your business needs.
The ideal time to engage us is when you've outgrown your current bookkeeping solution, need better visibility into your numbers, are preparing for investor discussions or financing, or find yourself lacking the internal finance resources needed for growth. Many clients come to us during transitions—whether it's rapid growth, preparing for acquisition, or when financial confusion is limiting confident decision-making.
We specialize in optimizing and implementing QuickBooks, Xero, and Odoo accounting systems. Our services include custom setup, workflow automation, financial module configuration, and integration with banking systems.
