Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer basic bookkeeping?
We can oversee bookkeeping for select clients, but our focus is audit-ready accounting leadership and complex reporting support.
How do fractional engagements work?
Most engagements run on a monthly retainer based on close complexity, scope, and meeting cadence.
Can you help us transition to a full-time Controller?
Yes. We provide interim leadership, stabilize the close, and help transition processes to your new hire.
At what stage should a company engage a fractional controller?
Most companies engage us when basic accounting is no longer enough, typically when an audit, financing, acquisition, or investor reporting requirement creates the need for more structure and oversight than the current team can provide.
