FAQ
Find Answers to Common Questions About Our Fractional, Part-Time, and Virtual Controller Services in Los Angeles & Southern California Businesses
What’s the difference between a bookkeeper and a controller?
Bookkeepers record transactions. Controllers oversee the full accounting function, ensure accurate reporting and internal controls, and provide context to support informed decisions.
Why should I hire a fractional controller instead of a full-time employee?
Fractional services give senior financial insight at a fraction of the cost of hiring full-time staff while providing scalable, timely reporting and decision-ready insight. This avoids the fixed cost and overhead of full-time accounting staff while maintaining senior-level oversight.
Do you prepare or file taxes?
No — we focus on accurate, organized, and tax-ready books for your CPA. Tax preparation and filing is on our roadmap for the future.
Do you offer project-based support or ongoing oversight?
Yes — from one-time projects (historical cleanup, system setup) to ongoing monthly support.
Can I start with bookkeeping and scale over time?
Absolutely. Many clients start with controller-led bookkeeping and expand into broader financial oversight.
How quickly can you start working with my business?
After a free discovery call, we perform a paid deep dive, then onboard immediately once the engagement letter is executed.
