Fractional Controller for Boston Businesses
Senior controller oversight on a fixed monthly fee, for owner-led Boston companies that need more than bookkeeping and are not ready for a full-time hire. Delivered remotely by a CPA with 20 years in finance.
Who It Fits
- Owner-led companies with roughly $1M to $10M in revenue
- The owner still makes finance decisions without a finance lead
- A month-end close that is slow, late, or unclear
- Lenders, investors, or a board asking for regular reporting
- Revenue recognition questions, including ASC 606
- A business that has outgrown its bookkeeper but not ready for a full-time controller
Monthly Deliverables
One CPA owns the close and the advisory, so the person reviewing the numbers is the person who knows how they were built.
- Month-end close oversight and reviewed reconciliations
- Financial statements: P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow
- Budget vs. actual, variance, and margin analysis
- Rolling cash flow forecast
- KPI and owner or board reporting package
- Systems, controls, and close process review
- Strategic advisory on pricing, growth, and capital
The Close Timeline
Every engagement runs on a fixed monthly close calendar agreed at onboarding. You know which day reconciliations are finished, which day statements arrive, and when we review them together.
Ryan took the month-end close at Cambrian Innovation from 25 business days to 5, and at Lean Enterprise Institute from 18 days to 8. Read his background.
