Fractional Controller Services for Accurate, Timely, Audit-Ready Financials
Full finance control — engineered for scale
Your controller is the backbone of your financial function. We bring the discipline, process, and tech-forward automation know-how your business needs to run clean, accurate, audit-ready financials every month. How can we supercharge your back-office?
Get controller-level discipline, process rigor, and faster month-end. Skip the 6-month hiring process.
Your bookkeeper handles transactions, but someone needs to own the close process, ensure GAAP compliance, implement controls, and deliver accurate financials every month. That's controller work. But hiring a full-time controller easily means six figures all-in, plus months of recruiting.
Our fractional controllers bring the discipline and expertise your finance function needs — starting in weeks, scaling with your growth.

- If You're a CFO
- If You're a Founder or CEO
- If You're a PE Operating Partner
"I'm Not Doing CFO-Level Work"
- Wearing too many hats
CFO strategy work gets pushed aside by operational fires - No one owns the close
Month-end is chaotic with no clear process owner - Can't delegate
Bookkeeper isn't senior enough to handle complex accounting - Quality concerns
Financials have errors, and rework is constant. - No time for strategy
Board wants analysis, but you're fixing journal entries
"I Need Better Clarity For Key Decisions"
- Can't trust the numbers
Too many errors, rework, uncertainty - Close takes forever
20+ days to get financials, too slow for decision-making - No one owns quality
Bookkeeper does their best, but complex issues fall through cracks - Audit anxiety
Worried about what auditors or investors will find - Growth exposing gaps
What worked at $5M isn't working at $15M
"We Need Pro-Level Portfolio Finance"
- Quality varies wildly
Some portfolio companies have clean books, others are chaos - No standardization
Every location or entity does things differently - Month-end close times vary wildly
Some companies take 6+ weeks to close books - Controls missing
Auditors find issues, buyers see red flags - Can't execute initiatives
Value creation and expansion plans stall
