Fractional Controller & Financial Operations

Controller-level financial leadership. Without the full-time overhead.

I partner with growing businesses to build the financial infrastructure they need to operate with confidence — clean books, reliable reporting, and the strategic oversight a $150K+ Controller would bring, scaled to fit.

When your books stop telling you the truth, your business stops making good decisions.

Most growing companies don't outgrow their bookkeeper all at once — they slowly stop trusting their numbers. By the time it's obvious, the cleanup is bigger than it had to be.

  • a. Financial reports you can't fully rely on for decision-making.
  • b. Books behind by weeks or months, with reconciliations slipping.
  • c. Cash flow visibility limited to what's in the bank account today.
  • d. QuickBooks files that have drifted out of structure over time.
  • e. Month-end that takes longer every quarter and still feels rushed.
  • f. Tax season scrambling instead of a clean handoff to your CPA.
What I do

The financial infrastructure growing businesses actually need.

Not a bookkeeping service. I'm a senior financial operations partner who builds and manages the systems that let you make better decisions.

Why it works

Senior expertise, right-sized for your business.

Most small and mid-sized businesses don't need a full-time Controller. They need controller-level thinking applied consistently — and the systems to back it up.

01

Controller-level rigor

Multi-entity accounting, month-end close, reconciliation discipline, and reporting packages a CPA or lender will actually accept. No shortcuts, no learning on your dime.

02

Regulatory fluency

Deep experience in regulated industries — license applications, renewals, multi-entity reporting, and tax coordination. Handled, not hand-waved.

03

Systems that scale

Your financial infrastructure should grow with you. I build processes and reporting that work at $2M and still work at $20M — no rebuild required.

Starting point

Books need to get organized first? That's where we usually begin.

Most ongoing engagements start with a financial cleanup — bringing QuickBooks back into structure, reconciling what's open, and producing the first clean month of reports. A controller-guided reset, not a rescue.

How we work together

From first call to clean financial operations.

Every engagement is scoped to what your business actually needs — never a templated retainer or junior staff learning on your books.

i.

Scope it right

A 15-minute discovery call to understand your business, your systems, and where the friction lives. You leave the call with a clear sense of what matters now, what can wait, and what an engagement would look like.

ii.

Build the foundation

Whether that's a QuickBooks cleanup, a chart-of-accounts redesign, or process documentation — the first 60 days focus on infrastructure that doesn't need to be rebuilt in six months.

iii.

Run and refine

Ongoing month-end close, reporting, compliance, and cash flow — delivered on a standing rhythm. As the business evolves, the work evolves with it.
