The problems that brought you here

Whether you are doing your own books, recovering from a bad provider, or scaling past what your current setup can handle, the frustration is the same: you cannot trust the numbers.

Doing it yourself

Your books eat 5-10 hours a month and tax season is still a scramble

  • You are spending evenings categorizing transactions instead of growing the business
  • You cannot confidently answer "are we profitable?" when someone asks
  • Every April turns into a $3K+ cleanup panic with your CPA
  • You assumed outsourcing costs $1,000+ a month so you keep doing it yourself

Plans start at $235/mo with a dedicated team

Burned by a provider

Your last bookkeeper broke your trust and you are still cleaning up the mess

  • Errors, miscoded transactions, and missed accruals that your CPA keeps finding
  • You never worked with the same person twice and had to re-explain your business every month
  • Messages went unanswered for days and you chased them more than they helped you
  • Your data was locked in their proprietary system and you had to fight to get it back

Same dedicated team every month. Your
data stays in your QuickBooks.

Scaling fast

You are growing but your finance function cannot keep up

  • Payroll, AP, invoicing, and bookkeeping are spread across 3+ vendors costing $3K-$5K/mo
  • Month-end close takes 3-4 weeks and your board deck is always stale
  • You need GAAP financials for investors but your current books would not survive an audit
  • You assumed outsourcing costs $1,000+ a month so you keep doing it yourself

One team. GAAP methodology. Close in 10- 15 days.

Everything handled, reviewed, and guided by a dedicated controller

Not just bookkeeping. A controller-led finance function that closes your books, explains the numbers, and helps you plan ahead.

  • Transactions recorded and reconciled daily

Forward-looking guidance

Not just what happened. See what is next.

  • Controller-led financial reviews each quarter
  • Clear view of burn, runway, and spending
  • Cash flow and budget forecasts you can trust
  • Planning support for hiring, pricing, and growth

What our clients say

These founders and operators switched to controller-led accounting and now make faster, clearer decisions.

COO Hollywood.com
Recovered 200 K in overdue AR
Their controller took it upon himself to work on our outdated AR and brought in a couple hundred thousand AR dollars for us that seemed unrecoverable. Our reporting to board members and shareholders has also improved significantly.
