Fractional Controller
When your business gets to the point where clean books aren't enough — you need financial statements you can actually rely on for big decisions — it's time for controllerlevel accounting.
A fractional controller brings the financial infrastructure of a large construction company to your trades business, without the overhead of a full-time hire. We own the month-end close, produce audit-ready financials, and build the reporting systems that tell you how your business is actually performing — by job, by crew, by trade line.
If you're bidding larger contracts, applying for financing, or just tired of flying blind on profitability, this is the level of accounting you need.
Services Available
Everything offered under Bookkeeping + Tax Planning plus...
Month-End and
Year-End Close
We run a disciplined close every month — reconciling every account, posting adjustments, and delivering financials you can rely on. No more wondering if the numbers are right. They are.
Adjusting Entries — Accruals, Prepaids, and More
We post the entries that most bookkeepers skip — accrued expenses, prepaid amortizations, depreciation, WIP adjustments — so your financials reflect actual performance for the period, not just cash in and out.
Job Cost Reporting
For trades businesses, job profitability is everything. We set up and maintain job costing so you can see exactly how each project performed — labor, materials, subs, overhead — and know which jobs are worth taking again.
Accounting System Optimization
We evaluate how your accounting software and workflows are set up and fix what isn't working — chart of accounts, class tracking, job costing structure, integrations. The right setup saves hours every month.
GAAP Compliance and Accounting Standards
Your financial statements meet professional standards — which matters when you're applying for a line of credit, bonding for a larger job, or bringing on an investor. We make sure your books hold up to scrutiny.
Budgeting and
Variance Analysis
We build a budget with you at the start of the year, then track actuals against it every month. When something comes in over or under, we flag it and explain why. You'll always know if you're on track.
Audit, Review, and
Lender Readiness
Whether you're applying for a business loan, getting bonded for a government contract, or preparing for an external review, we keep your records organized and your financials in a state that's ready for outside scrutiny — always, not just when you need it.
IRS and State Inquiry Preparedness
If the IRS or a state agency comes knocking, you want your books to be clean, documented, and defensible. We maintain that standard month in and month out — so an inquiry is an inconvenience, not a crisis.
