Frequently Asked Questions
How are controller services different from bookkeeping services?
Controller services extend far beyond basic bookkeeping functions. While bookkeeping focuses primarily on recording transactions and maintaining the general ledger, controller services encompass comprehensive financial management including financial statement preparation and analysis, internal controls implementation, process optimization, and management reporting. Controllers transform raw financial data into actionable business intelligence and ensure the integrity of financial systems.
Can controller services work with our existing accounting staff?
Absolutely. Our controller services are designed to complement your existing team, not replace them. We can provide oversight and guidance to your accounting staff, fill specific expertise gaps, or handle specialized projects while your team manages day-to-day operations. Our controllers become extensions of your finance department, transferring knowledge and best practices to elevate your internal capabilities.
Do we need controller services if we have a fractional CFO?
Controller services and CFO services complement each other but serve different functions. CFOs focus primarily on strategic financial leadership, planning, and analysis, while controllers ensure operational financial excellence, accuracy, and efficiency. Many organizations benefit from both roles – the CFO setting financial strategy and the controller ensuring the financial foundation is solid enough to support strategic initiatives.
Can your controllers help implement new accounting software?
Yes, system implementation support is one of our core controller service offerings. Our controllers have extensive experience with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and other leading accounting platforms. We help assess your requirements, manage the implementation process, design optimal workflows, and train your team to ensure successful adoption and maximum return on your technology investment.
How do controller services support businesses preparing for funding or exit?
Controller services establish the financial foundation required for successful capital events. Our controllers ensure historical financial statements are accurate and properly presented, documentation is complete, accounting policies comply with relevant standards, and financial processes can withstand due diligence scrutiny. These preparations significantly reduce transaction friction and increase investor or buyer confidence in your financial representations.
What industries do your controller services specialize in?
Our controller team brings expertise across multiple industries including technology, professional services, manufacturing, retail, construction, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations. We have specialists in areas requiring unique accounting treatments such as software/SaaS (revenue recognition), construction (percentage of completion), and professional services (project accounting), allowing us to provide industry-specific best practices.
