Controller Services
Controller Services — Fractional Controller and Process Design.
For growing businesses with internal bookkeeping staff who need expert oversight, process design, and team training — without the cost of a full-time controller.
Controller-Level Oversight
Penny reviews your internal team's work, ensures accuracy, and provides the expert layer your business needs as it scales.
Process Design & Documentation
We build the month-end close process, AP/AR workflows, chart of accounts structure, and reporting cadence your team can actually follow.
Team Training
We train your internal bookkeepers and AP staff on best practices, software, and reporting standards.
Internal Controls Review
We identify gaps in your financial controls that could expose your business to fraud or costly errors.
Who this is for
- You have internal bookkeeping staff but no financial oversight
- Your team is doing the work but nobody is checking it
- You've grown past what your current processes can handle
- You want to prepare for a future audit, sale, or outside investment
- You need expert oversight without the cost of a full-time controller
