Accounting
Controller Services
Someone owning the close, the controls and the numbers you publish.
Bookkeeping records what happened. A controller makes sure it got recorded right, that the close lands on schedule, and that the statements going to your bank or your board will stand up to questions.
The job covers close management, the technical accounting calls, revenue recognition, accruals and cut-off, reviewing the bookkeeping underneath, and the internal controls that stop errors and fraud from slipping past.
For most mid-sized businesses this is a part-time need that gets filled with a full-time hire, or never gets filled at all. Fractional coverage gives you the role at the intensity it actually needs.
What you get
A close calendar that holds
Fixed dates for cut-off, review and issue, so reporting stops being a moving target.
The technical calls
Revenue recognition, accruals, capitalisation and lease treatment, decided by someone qualified to decide them.
A real review
Someone senior checks the work before it turns into a number you act on.
Controls that fit
Segregation of duties and approval limits sized to your team, not copied out of a manual.
