Controller Services
Financial oversight for businesses that need more than basic bookkeeping. We review your books monthly, implement internal controls, and catch problems before they become expensive.
What This Is
There’s a point where basic bookkeeping isn’t enough anymore. Your business has grown. The transactions are more complex and the stakes are higher. But you’re not ready to add a full-time controller to your payroll at $80,000 or more per year plus benefits.
Outsourced controller services fill that gap. You get financial oversight, internal controls, and someone reviewing the books with a trained eye. All without the full-time salary and management overhead that comes with an in-house hire.
Financial Oversight
Financial Oversight
A controller reviews what the bookkeeper produces. They verify accounts are reconciled correctly and transactions are coded properly. They look at the financial statements with fresh eyes and catch things that don’t add up before small errors turn into expensive problems.
Internal Controls
Internal Controls
Documented procedures for handling cash, approving expenses, and processing transactions. Controls that prevent errors and make fraud harder to commit and easier to detect. The kind of structure that growing businesses need but rarely implement on their own.
Why This Matters
Most small businesses have no financial oversight. The bookkeeper enters transactions and reconciles accounts and nobody checks the work. The owner glances at the bank balance occasionally but doesn’t dig into the details. The books are probably fine. Maybe.
This is how problems develop. Errors accumulate over months or years. Fraud goes undetected because there’s no separation of duties. Tax mistakes surface long after they happened because nobody caught them when correction would have been straightforward.
The Accountability Gap
The Accountability Gap
When one person handles all the financial work with no review, you’re trusting completely in their accuracy and integrity. That arrangement works until it doesn’t. And by the time you discover a problem, it’s usually been compounding for a while.
The Reliability Question
The Reliability Question
Your financial statements inform real decisions about hiring, spending, and growth. If those statements aren’t verified by someone qualified to spot problems, how much confidence can you actually have in them? Are you making decisions based on facts or assumptions?
What Changes
Your books get reviewed monthly by someone who knows what red flags look like. Errors get caught early. Processes get documented and standardized. You develop the financial discipline that separates established businesses from ones that never quite get organized.
When you need a loan, the bank will scrutinize your financials. When you decide to sell, buyers will dig through your records. Having controller oversight means your books can handle that examination without surprises turning up at the worst possible time.
Financial Discipline
Financial Discipline
Consistent processes, regular review, and documented controls. Your finances stop being informal and reactive. They become structured and reliable. You know the numbers you’re looking at have been verified by someone with the training to catch problems.
Ready for Scrutiny
Ready for Scrutiny
Auditors, lenders, and potential buyers want to see that qualified people are overseeing your finances. Controller services give you that credibility and the clean records to back it up. When opportunity comes, your books won’t be the thing holding you back.
