Beyond Bookkeeping: Controller Services
There are times when your small business needs more accounting and financial advice than you can get from your bookkeeper or a tax preparer. That's when controller-level services can come in handy.
​
You can't afford to hire a full-time controller, but luckily you can still get the high quality accounting services you need to help your company grow. A small business earning $1 million in annual revenues is ready for controller-level services. This includes bookkeeping which is either outsourced or done in-house by full-time or part-time employees or contractors. An oversight function is included where an accounting manager reviews the monthly work and discusses financial reports with the owner. We help companies with:
-
Budgeting and forecasting

Cash flow projections
