Your books have outgrown your bookkeeper, but you do not need a full-time finance hire yet. We keep the numbers clean, on time, and ready when a bank or investor asks.
Sooner or later, the books stop keeping up with the business. Revenue is growing, the work is piling on, and a quiet doubt creeps in about whether the numbers are even right anymore. That doubt tends to surface at the worst time. A bank asks for clean statements, an investor wants real figures, and the books are ready for neither.
Fractional controller services exist for exactly that gap.
We take four things off your plate:
Reconciled on a date you can count on.
The checks that keep the books honest.
Cash flow visibility and lender-ready statements.
Kept clean year-round, so filing is never a fire drill.
We look at your current books, controls, and close process. No cleanup needed first.
We fix what needs fixing and set a monthly close you can count on.
Senior eyes every month, with reporting ready when a lender or tax authority asks.
A few numbers that say more than a sales pitch:
A full-time controller is a single point of failure on a six-figure salary. Doing it yourself is cheaper until the month it is not. A fractional controller gives you that same senior oversight for a fraction of the cost. You get senior eyes on the numbers without adding a senior name to payroll.
What you pay depends on your revenue, the number of entities, transaction volume, and whether your books need cleanup first. Every engagement starts with a scope built around your situation, not a package off a shelf.
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates the typical organization loses about 5 percent of its revenue to fraud every year. Almost none of it is dramatic. It is small, repeated, and invisible, because nobody is checking. The same 2024 report found that more than half of these schemes trace to missing or overridden internal controls, and the average one runs about a year before anyone notices. A controller is the second set of eyes that makes the quiet leaks show up.
