A controller turns bookkeeping into reliable monthly financials: every account reconciled, revenue and expenses in the right month, and statements you can hand to a lender or use to run the business. Fixed monthly fee, reviewed by a Florida licensed CPA.
Fixed fees, quoted in writing before any work starts.
Most growing businesses have the first layer covered. The gap is the layer in the middle.
Transactions are categorized and the bank feeds are cleared. Useful, but nobody is checking whether the totals are right or whether they land in the right month.
Every balance sheet account is reconciled, accruals and deferrals are booked, and the month is closed by an agreed date. You get financial statements you can trust, with notes on what changed.
Forecasts, cash modeling and pricing decisions. That work is only as good as the close underneath it, which is why the controller layer comes first. See our fractional CFO services.
Scoped to your business and confirmed in writing. A typical monthly engagement covers:
We agree on a close date and a checklist, and we hold to it. You stop wondering whether last month is final.
Bank, credit cards, loans, payroll liabilities, merchant and payment processor clearing accounts, and owner accounts, tied out every month instead of at tax time.
Accruals, prepaid expenses, deferred revenue and customer deposits, so profit reflects the work actually done in the period.
Aging reports reviewed, collections flagged, bills scheduled against cash on hand, and a weekly or monthly cash position you can read in a minute.
Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, with plain notes on what moved and why. Consolidated reporting if you run more than one entity.
Who can pay bills, who approves expenses, how the bank is accessed. Simple controls that protect you without slowing the business down.
Payroll journals tied to the payroll reports, owner and employee expenses checked against policy, and contractor payments tracked for year-end 1099s.
Statements and schedules ready when a bank, investor or buyer asks, and books that hand straight to tax preparation with no cleanup season.
If your monthly numbers are late or you do not fully trust them, start with a controller. Planning and forecasting built on unreliable books gives confident answers to the wrong question. Many clients add CFO work once the close is steady.
Either way works. We can take over the bookkeeping as part of the engagement, or work with your existing bookkeeper and review and close their work each month.
QuickBooks Online for the books, alongside the payroll, payment and bill pay tools you already use. If a change would save you time or money, we will tell you why before suggesting it.
Yes. Separate books for each entity, intercompany balances that agree, and a consolidated view so you can see the whole group at once.
A fixed monthly fee based on transaction volume, number of accounts and entities, and the reporting you need. It is quoted in writing before any work starts. The quote tool takes about two minutes and gives us what we need to price it.
