  • Fractional accounting services encompass a range of financial and accounting solutions tailored to businesses that require part-time or shared accounting expertise rather than hiring a full-time accountant or accounting team. These services can be particularly beneficial for small to medium-sized enterprises, startups, and organizations that need flexible accounting support. Such services allow businesses to access professional financial expertise on a flexible basis, leading to cost savings and improved financial management.

    Offerings include:

    Bookkeeping: Maintaining accurate financial records, including tracking income, expenses, and transactions.

    Financial Reporting: Preparing regular financial statements (such as balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements) to provide insights into the company’s financial health.

    Budgeting and Forecasting: Developing budgets and financial forecasts to help businesses plan for future growth and manage cash flow.

    Accounts Payable and Receivable Management: Handling incoming and outgoing payments, ensuring timely invoicing and collection of receivables.

    Virtual Controller or CFO Services: Providing high-level financial strategy and oversight without the cost of a full-time financial leader. This assistance can provide key insights on gross margin, pricing decisions, and timing of growth decisions.

  • If you’re experiencing any of the below, you may benefit from accounting assistance. 


    Time Constraints: As a business owner or manager, you may find yourself spending too much time on bookkeeping and financial tasks instead of focusing on core operations and growth. You can get out of the dog house by hiring fractional accounting help!

    Inaccurate Records: Frequent discrepancies in financial records or difficulty reconciling accounts also indicate you need for professional help.

    Cash Flow Issues: If you struggle with forecasting and managing cash flow, budgeting, or general forecasting, you can benefit from expert financial analysis and advice.

    Planning for Growth: When considering expansion, investment, or major financial decisions, professional guidance can provide you with valuable insights and strategies.

    Lack of Financial Insights: If your business lacks clarity on financial performance metrics or struggles to interpret financial reports, it may be time to consult an accountant.
