What's inside

The work behind every engagement.

Each engagement draws from these eight services based on what your business needs.

A.

The monthly rhythm

Recurring controller-level work. The backbone of every engagement.

01

Financial reporting & analysis

Reporting

Monthly and quarterly reporting packages — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statements, and variance analysis — delivered on a standing rhythm with context that helps you make decisions, not just file the report away.

02

Month-end close

Close

Owned end-to-end. Reconciliations, accruals, journal entries, and review — closed on a defined timeline so the books are reliable when leadership needs them.

03

Payroll oversight

Payroll

Payroll processing and reconciliation, tax withholding compliance, benefits administration oversight, and contractor classification. Accurate, on time, and properly documented.

B.

Operations & systems

The specialty work that keeps a growing business out of trouble.

04

Cash flow management

Cash

Rolling cash flow forecasts, scenario modeling, weekly cash position reporting, and bank-relationship coordination. You know exactly where you stand and what's coming.

05

Compliance & licensing

Regulated

Regulatory compliance management for complex and regulated industries — license applications, renewals, reporting requirements, and audit preparation. Multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction work welcome.

06

Systems & QBO setup

Systems

Chart of accounts design, QuickBooks Online configuration, app stack and integration management, workflow implementation, and ongoing bookkeeping quality control. Build it right once so it doesn't break at scale.

C.

Coordination & strategy

The advisory layer — your CPA's counterpart and your strategic finance partner.

07

CPA coordination

CPA

Liaison between your business and your CPA or tax preparer. Quarterly estimated tax calculations, year-end workpaper preparation, and proactive tax planning support. Note: I don't prepare or file tax returns — I make your CPA's job easier.

08

Fractional CFO advisory

Strategy

Strategic financial guidance for businesses at inflection points — fundraising preparation, growth planning, scenario analysis, ownership distributions, debt structuring, and board-level reporting.

Add-ons & projects

Not everything fits a monthly retainer.

Foundational support

Financial cleanup & organization — the foundation everything else sits on.

Books that have drifted out of structure don't reflect reality, and reporting built on top of them won't either. When that's the case, we fix the foundation first. See the dedicated cleanup page →

a.

QuickBooks cleanup & financial organization

Full reset of QuickBooks Online files — reconciliations, structural cleanup, chart-of-accounts redesign, and a CPA-ready package at the end. Scoped as a fixed-price project after a brief diagnostic call.

b.

Catch-up bookkeeping

For businesses where the books are months or years behind. Transaction categorization, reconciliations, payroll mapping, and the closing entries needed to bring everything current and CPA-ready.

See what's included →
c.

Bookkeeping support & oversight

For businesses with a bookkeeper in place who need controller-level oversight on top — review of monthly work, reconciliation audits, reporting accuracy checks, and process documentation.

d.

One-time financial reviews

A scoped diagnostic engagement — a fresh set of eyes on your books, systems, and reporting. You receive a written assessment with prioritized recommendations and a clear next step.

Who it's for

Built for businesses in the messy middle.

Too complex for a bookkeeper alone. Too lean for a full-time Controller. That's where this work fits.

01

Regulated industries

Agricultural producers, regulated operators, and other businesses navigating complex licensing and compliance requirements at the state and local level.

02

Growing companies $1M–$20M

Businesses that have outgrown their bookkeeper or DIY accounting but aren't ready to hire a $150K+ Controller or CFO. Multi-entity structures, ownership distributions, debt management.

03

Owner-operators

Founders who are tired of making financial decisions based on gut feel and bank balances. You want real numbers, a real process, and someone who can explain both.

Common questions

Things people ask before booking the call.

What's the difference between a Controller and a CFO?
A Controller manages the accuracy and reliability of your financial records — the books, the close, the reporting. A CFO uses that information to drive strategy: forecasting, capital planning, investor relations. Many businesses need controller-level work first to build the foundation for strategic finance.
Can I customize what's included?
Yes. Tiers set the baseline scope. During the discovery call, we walk through what your business needs and build a package that fits — no paying for services you don't use.
What does onboarding look like?
We start with a scoping call to understand your current systems, pain points, and goals. From there I do a health check on your books, document your current processes, and build a 30-60-90 day plan. Controller and CFO clients are usually fully onboarded within two to four weeks. Bookkeeping-only clients are usually onboarded within two.
Do you work with my existing CPA?
Yes. I coordinate directly with your CPA or tax preparer on year-end workpapers, quarterly estimates, entity-level planning, and anything else they need. Clean, organized financials make their job easier — and save you money at tax time.
