FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fractional controller?

A fractional controller is an experienced finance professional who runs your accounting function part time. You get the monthly close, job costing, WIP schedules and financial reporting a full-time controller would deliver, without the salary.

How is a fractional controller different from a bookkeeper?

A bookkeeper records transactions. A controller owns the numbers: the close, revenue recognition, WIP, job costing, retainage and the reports your bank and bonding company rely on. We do both.

What does a fractional controller do for a contractor?

We keep your WIP schedule accurate, track retainage on the customer and subcontractor side, prepare AIA billing, and deliver monthly financial statements with a plain-language summary.

When does a contractor need a fractional controller?

Typically when jobs are getting more complex, a bank or surety is asking for better reporting, margins are unclear job to job, or the owner is still doing the books and it is taking time away from running the business.
