A controller sits between accounting and strategy — making sure your numbers are not only accurate, but actively managed, reported, and reviewed every month.
Growing businesses (typically $1M–$10M+ revenue) that need someone actively managing the finance function — tracking cash, catching issues early, and giving the founder a clear monthly read on the business, not just a spreadsheet.

QuickBooks Online, plus reporting and KPI dashboard tools tailored to your industry and systems, and the payroll, spend, and bill pay tools around them.
A bookkeeper keeps your books accurate. A controller owns the finance function: they oversee the close, build KPI reporting, and meet with you monthly to review performance. If you're making decisions off gut feel instead of numbers, you likely need a controller.
No. Controller Services gives you the close oversight, reporting, and monthly review a full-time controller would, led by a finance leader with 15+ years of experience including Deloitte, without adding a senior salary to your payroll.
We walk through your results and KPIs with you: what changed, why it changed, and what to watch next. You leave knowing where the business stands, not just holding a report.
Controller Services start at $2,000/month. The exact price is a fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volume, entity count, and reporting complexity, plus a one-time implementation fee that covers setup and any initial cleanup. No hourly billing and no hidden add-ons. Get your instant estimate →
