Senior capacity added around the team you already have, a close that lands early, and reporting that ties.

Industry accounting and CFO services

The finance function that worked at $5M is usually stretched at $25M, and the strain shows up in the same three places: the close takes too long, the audit surfaces surprises, and the board deck doesn't tie to the financials.

We add senior capacity around your existing team rather than replacing it, and we take the technical accounting and audit management off your controller's desk.

Where it breaks

What usually goes wrong

Outgrowing the first finance hire

A controller who was exactly right at $5M is carrying work above their level at $25M. It shows in the close and in the board deck.

Audit and diligence exposure

A first audit, a lender review, or an exit process surfaces every shortcut taken in the prior three years, all at once.

Entity structure outpacing the accounting

New entities, states, and countries arrive faster than consolidation and intercompany processes adapt.

Reporting the board doesn't trust

Numbers that arrive late, don't tie, or don't answer the question being asked.

Our approach

How we run this finance function

We add the senior layer above your team and depth below it, get the close to a predictable early-month cadence, build consolidation that handles the entity structure you actually have, and produce board and lender reporting off the same ledger that produces the financials.

Tax and structure

Multi-state, transactions, and exposure

A multi-state and international footprint drives apportionment, transfer pricing, and registration obligations that compound quietly between filings. Section 174 and the R&D credit remain material at this stage. Acquisitions raise purchase price allocation, goodwill, and election questions that are far cheaper to plan than to remediate. Accumulated sales tax exposure across states is one of the most common findings in diligence.

Common questions

Questions we get asked

We have a controller. What do you actually do?

We add the senior layer above them — CFO judgment, technical accounting, audit management — and depth below them when volume spikes. The controller usually gets better rather than replaced.

Can you get us through a first audit?

Yes. Policies, schedules, reconciliations, PBC list, and auditor management through fieldwork.

Can you support a transaction?

Diligence prep, data room, quality of earnings support, and post-close integration, as a defined workstream.
