Outsourced Controller Services
Your month-end, caught up.
Close reliably, report confidently, and keep cash tight. A fractional controller plus a tight finance rhythm = fewer surprises and better decisions.
Financial reporting feeling like a mess?
The pain: Late closes, messy reconciliations, and “we’ll get that report next week.”
The cost: Delayed decisions, scary board packets, cash blind spots.
Our fix: A dedicated outsourced controller + cadence that delivers clean books, GAAP-ready reports, and tight controls, without the full-time overhead.

Your questions answered
Outsourced Controller FAQ
What does an outsourced controller do?
They own the month-end close, reconcile accounts, implement internal controls, and deliver GAAP-ready financial statements with commentary so leadership can make decisions.
What does an outsourced controller do vs an outsourced CFO?
Outsourced controllers ensure accuracy, close the books, and produce reliable reports. CFOs turn those reports into forward-looking strategy, planning, and capital decisions.
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes. We slot in alongside your staff or bookkeeper, set the cadence, and provide senior oversight and QA.
Do you support NetSuite?
Yes. We specialize in NetSuite. Our outsourced controllers can help with chart design, segment strategy, posting rules, dashboards, saved searches, and period close.
Can you handle 1099s and payroll coordination?
We prepare and e-file 1099-MISC/NEC and coordinate payroll to ensure accuracy, approvals, and system sync.
How much do outsourced controller services cost?
Most clients pay between $7k–$10k/month depending on complexity, NetSuite licensing and scope… far less than hiring a full-time controller and in-house team.
How quickly can you get us caught up?
Most clients see a stabilized close in the first month and a complete reporting pack, with KPIs, by the end of month two, depending on starting condition.
We fix the close so you can fix the business.
Your competitors aren’t waiting. Neither should you.
