Part-Time Controller & Oversight
Fractional Controller Services That Strengthen Your Financial Foundation
As your business grows, the financial questions get more complex. You need more than just a bookkeeper—you need strategic oversight. Our fractional controller services give Columbus-area business owners CPA-level insight without the cost of a full-time hire. From managing the monthly close process to overseeing multi-entity accounting, we bring clarity, accuracy, and control to your financial operations.
Whether you’re based in Dublin, Westerville, or Downtown Columbus, we help local businesses manage growth with expert controller oversight.
Confidence in Every Close
Our part-time controller services are designed to keep your books clean, compliant, and ready for review. Each month, we supervise the close process: reviewing your bookkeeper’s entries, making necessary adjustments (like depreciation or accruals), and confirming that your financial statements are accurate before they’re sent to owners, boards, or lenders.
You’ll no longer need to wonder whether your numbers are right—our team ensures they are, every month.
Specialized Support for Multi-Entity Businesses
Own multiple LLCs? Manage real estate across different markets? Our outsourced controller service is built for complex structures. We manage intercompany transactions, maintain clean books for each entity, and generate consolidated reports that give you the big-picture view. Clients with holdings in New Albany, Gahanna, or even out-of-state properties benefit from our ability to organize their financials across the board.
A Direct Line to Your CPA—So You Don’t Have to Be the Middleman
We speak your CPA’s language and work directly with them to streamline tax season. From preparing year-end workpapers to answering auditor questions, we reduce the back-and-forth and make sure your accountant gets clean records. This can reduce your CPA fees and ensure nothing falls through the cracks when it matters most.
When a Controller Makes Sense
Many small businesses don’t know when they’ve outgrown basic bookkeeping. If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to bring in a part-time controller:
- You need monthly financials you can rely on
- You have investors, lenders, or a board that expects reports
- You manage more than one business or legal entity
- You’re spending too much time answering your CPA’s questions
- You’re not ready for a full-time CFO but need better insight
When the stakes are rising, our controller services help you stay in control.
How is a controller different from a bookkeeper?
A controller provides oversight and expertise—reviewing the work of your bookkeeper, making complex accounting adjustments, and ensuring your financials are accurate and complete.
Can I use your controller services without monthly bookkeeping?
It’s possible, but not ideal. When we also manage your bookkeeping, we can ensure full accuracy from entry to oversight. However, we can work with in-house or third-party bookkeepers.
Do you support multi-entity businesses or real estate investors?
Yes. We specialize in multi-entity accounting and can consolidate financials for real estate portfolios, holding companies, or operating businesses with several LLCs.
Will you work directly with my tax CPA or auditor?
Absolutely. We coordinate with your accountant, provide requested documentation, and ensure your books are in order before tax deadlines or audits.
How often do controllers review the books?
Our controllers typically review the books monthly as part of the close process. We can adjust the cadence based on your business needs or complexity.
