A fractional controller for the capacity you actually need.
Most growing businesses need controller-level work every month, but nowhere near a full week of it. Fractional means you buy the function, not the seat.
How it works
Fractional is about capacity, not seniority
This is not a junior version of a controller. It is the same work — close ownership, reporting integrity, margin and KPI analysis — sized to a business that needs it monthly rather than daily.
The scope is defined up front
What we own, what stays with you, and what arrives each month is written down before we start. That is what makes fractional work rather than becoming an open-ended retainer nobody can evaluate.
It scales with the business
Scope moves as complexity does — a new location, a second entity, a lender who wants monthly reporting. The engagement changes without a hiring decision attached to it.
When fractional stops making sense
When the work is genuinely constant, a hire is cheaper and better. We will tell you when you reach that point rather than waiting for you to notice.
Frequently asked
What is the difference between fractional and outsourced?
In practice, nothing. Both describe the controller function delivered part-time by an outside team.
How many hours a month is it?
It is scoped to deliverables rather than hours — a close on a set date, a defined reporting package, an agreed set of KPIs.
Can we start smaller and grow?
That is the usual path. Many clients start with bookkeeping, add controller work when the questions outgrow the reporting.
Do we get the same person?
Yes. Continuity is the point — a controller who does not know your business is just an expensive bookkeeper.
