Outsourced Controller
A senior controller who owns your close, reporting quality, treasury and controls — without the full-time seat.
The full scope, in plain English.
The complete list of what we can deliver under this line. Every item is a real service — tell us which you need.
Ownership of month-end close
A named senior controller accountable for close quality and timing — the bookkeeping team reports to them, not to you.
Financial reporting review
Statements and management packs reviewed for accuracy, consistency and the questions a board or lender will ask.
Cash & treasury management
Cash positioning, payment runs, multi-currency balances and FX coordination handled on a fixed rhythm.
Controls & process improvement
The approval flows, segregation and reconciliations that stop errors and fraud before they compound.
Budget-vs-actuals discipline
Variances explained monthly while they're small — not annually when they're a story.
Revenue & billing operations oversight
Billing runs, revenue schedules and deferred revenue kept accurate and on time.
Team supervision
Your in-house bookkeepers (or our team) managed to a standard: reviewed, coached and covered for absences.
Systems & automation oversight
The finance stack rationalised and automated where it pays — fewer spreadsheets, fewer keys under one person's mat.
Audit & tax liaison
One senior point of contact for your auditors and tax advisers, so requests don't land on the founder's desk.
Process, tools & quality control.
Assessment
Close process, reporting quality and control gaps reviewed in the first two weeks.
Operating rhythm
A close calendar, review checklist and reporting pack format agreed and owned.
Run & review
The controller runs the cycle, reviews the team's output and signs off each close.
Escalate what matters
You hear about the exceptions and decisions — not the mechanics.
Companies whose books are handled but unowned — where no senior person is accountable for accuracy, timing and cash until the founder does it themselves.
Fixed monthly retainer for a defined weekly commitment — a fraction of a full-time controller's loaded cost.
- Signed-off monthly close
- Management reporting pack
- Cash & treasury schedule
- Controls improvement roadmap
- Audit-ready books year-round
