External Controller

Hands-on financial management including reporting, internal controls, and oversight of your accounting function. You get controller-level expertise without the cost of a full-time hire.

The Role

A controller is the person who makes sure your financial data is accurate and actually useful. They oversee the bookkeeping. They build the reports. They catch the errors before they become problems. In larger companies this is a full-time position that costs six figures a year.

Most growing businesses need this level of oversight but cannot justify the full-time salary. That is where we come in. You get the expertise of someone who has served as controller for companies in retail, manufacturing, e-commerce, and hospitality without adding permanent headcount.

Financial Reporting

We prepare and review your financial statements each month. Profit and loss. Balance sheet. Cash flow. We make sure the numbers are accurate and we explain what they mean in plain language so you can actually use them.

Internal Controls

We build the checks and balances that protect your business. Separation of duties. Approval workflows. Reconciliation processes. These systems catch mistakes and prevent fraud before they hurt your bottom line.

The Gap

Many businesses have bookkeeping but no one overseeing the bookkeeper. Transactions get recorded but no one is asking whether they are recorded correctly. Reports get generated but no one is checking if they make sense. Small errors compound into big problems over months and years.

You feel it in strange ways. Your bank account never seems to match what you expect. Profit margins look fine on paper but cash is always tight. You suspect something is off but you don’t have the expertise to diagnose it yourself.

Blind Spots

Without financial oversight you are making decisions based on incomplete information. You might be losing money on certain products or services and not know it. You might have expenses creeping up that nobody is watching.

Scaling Struggles

Growth creates complexity. More transactions. More employees. More vendors. More locations. The system that worked when you were smaller starts breaking down. A controller brings the structure you need to handle that growth.

The Partnership

This is not a once-a-year review. We work with you on an ongoing basis. We attend meetings. We answer questions. We dig into the data when something looks wrong. We become an extension of your team without the overhead of a full-time employee.

The goal is to bring order to your finances. You stop guessing about where you stand. You start making decisions based on accurate data. And you have someone in your corner who has seen these problems before across multiple industries.

Experience You Can Use

We bring 12 years of accounting experience across retail, manufacturing, e-commerce, restaurants, and more. We have walked into chaotic situations and walked out with clean books and clear processes. That experience works for you now.

Decisions Based on Data

Good financial reporting changes how you run your business. You see which jobs are profitable. You know your real margins. You can plan for equipment purchases or new hires with actual numbers instead of gut feelings.
