Fractional Controller Services

TL;DR

  • Senior financial oversight for businesses that have outgrown their bookkeeper but do not need a full-time controller yet.
  • An on-time monthly close, stronger internal controls, and lender-ready, tax-ready books, in one monthly rhythm.
  • Executive-level control of your numbers, without an executive salary on the payroll.

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.

What a Fractional Controller Owns

We take four things off your plate:

The Monthly Close

Reconciled on a date you can count on.

Internal Controls

The checks that keep the books honest.

Cash Flow & Reporting

Cash flow visibility and lender-ready statements.

Tax-Ready Books

Kept clean year-round, so filing is never a fire drill.

What a Fractional Controller Costs

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.

Why Weak Controls Cost Real Money

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.

Is a Fractional Controller Right for You?

This is the right fit if you:

  • Have outgrown your bookkeeper but do not need a full-time finance hire yet
  • Are approaching or past about $1 million in revenue
  • Need clean, lender-ready or investor-ready statements
  • Want senior oversight and reliable controls without adding to payroll

Need forecasting, fundraising, or growth strategy too? That is where CFO-level support picks up. Most clients begin with the controller foundation and scale up as they grow.

Putting this off rarely makes it cheaper. It only makes the cleanup longer.
