The Permanent Hire You Don't Actually Need
The business has outgrown a bookkeeper, and hiring a full-time controller feels like the obvious next step. But the truth is, once the right systems and processes are in place, your existing team can run the finance function day-to-day. You don't need to pay $150K+ a year for someone to do what automation and good structure should be handling.
The Gap
Your controller left — and took all the institutional knowledge with them. Now you're in cleanup mode, trying to piece together where things stand while keeping the books moving forward.
The Buried Controller
You have someone in the role, but they're drowning in transactional work — data entry, reconciliations, putting out fires. They don't have the time or the tools to build the process improvements that would actually fix the problem. The strategic work keeps getting pushed to "next month" — and the finance function drags because of a systems gap, not a people gap.
The Owner who's Also the CFO
You started the business, not an accounting department. But somehow you're the one reviewing bank recs, approving invoices, and interpreting financials — because there's no one else who understands the full picture.
The daily friction no one talks about.
These aren't just annoyances. They're symptoms of a finance function that lacks the data clarity and structural foundation to run without friction. A good controller manages through them. A great one eliminates them. But even organizations with a controller or accounting team often live with these problems, simply because no one has ever built the systems to fix them.
Someone asks about a payment from three months ago and your team spends an hour digging through email, folders, and bank statements to reconstruct what happened.
Tracking down invoices
Leadership can't pull a simple number without asking the accounting team. There's no self-service access, no consistent filing, no clear data structure. Everything requires a human lookup.
"Where do I find this?"
One-off payments
A loan payment comes due, a vendor needs to get paid outside the normal cycle, or there's a one-time expense that doesn't fit any existing process. Who approves it? Where does it get coded? Does anyone follow up to confirm it cleared?
Reconciliation drag
What should take minutes takes hours because transactions are tracked manually across systems. Your team is matching line items by hand, cross-referencing bank feeds against entries, and rebuilding audit trails that should already exist.
Most fractional controllers work at arm's length — they review the books, flag issues, and move on. DT embeds in your day-to-day operations, builds the systems and processes your finance function needs, and then enables your team to own it. The goal isn't a permanent dependency — it's a finance function that runs with or without us.
We don't outsource your finance function. We build it — and hand you the keys.
Financial Leadership
Strategic oversight, month-end management, and the judgment calls that require experience — not just a checklist. We act as your controller (or partner with your existing team) to ensure your financial operations run with accuracy and accountability.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE:
✓ Month-end and year-end close management
✓ Financial statement review and analysis
✓ Cash flow oversight and forecasting
✓ Audit preparation and support
✓ Board and investor reporting
Process Automation
We don't just execute your processes — we rebuild them. Every manual workflow we touch gets evaluated for automation. The goal is to eliminate the repetitive work that buries your team, so financial leadership can focus on decisions, not data entry.
See Close Acceleration ⟶ and
AP Automation ⟶ for specific examples.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE:
✓ Automated reconciliates and transaction matching
✓ Streamlined approval routing
✓ Automated report generation and distribution
✓ Elimination of duplicate data entry across systems
Real-Time Visibility
Clean books are only useful if leadership can see them. We build the reporting infrastructure so your financial data is always current, always accessible, and always answering the right questions — without anyone having to assemble a spreadsheet.
See Dashboards + Reporting ⟶ for specific examples.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE:
✓ Custom dashboards for leadership, operations, and accounting
✓ Consolidated views across multiple entries
✓ Automated KPI tracking and variance alerts
✓ Self-service access for stakeholders (no more "can you pull this number?" requests)
Flexible by design — not one-size-fits-all.
Ongoing Fractional Controller
We embed as your controller on a part-time, ongoing basis. Ideal for organizations that need consistent financial leadership but don't need (or can't justify) a full-time hire. Scope, hours, and cadence are tailored to your needs and can scale up or down as the business evolves.
BEST FOR
Organizations without a controller, businesses between hires, or companies that want senior-level oversight without the full-time cost.
Systems Advisory & Maintenance
Your finance function is running, but the systems underneath it need ongoing attention. We provide technical oversight and strategic guidance on the automation, integrations, and reporting infrastructure that powers your accounting operations — ensuring everything stays optimized as your business evolves.
BEST FOR
Organizations that have completed a DT build engagement and want continued systems support, or businesses with established accounting teams that need a technology partner to maintain and improve their financial infrastructure.
Project-Based Engagement
We come in for a defined scope: clean up the books, stabilize processes, build the automation and reporting infrastructure, and hand it off. The goal is to leave your finance function self-sustaining — whether that means training your existing team or helping you hire the right permanent person.
BEST FOR
Post-departure cleanup, system transitions, process overhauls, or organizations preparing for audit, fundraising, or a major growth phase.
We learn your business before we touch your books.
Assessment & Discovery (Weeks 1 - 4)
We assess the current state of your books, processes, and team — mapping how work actually flows, not how it's supposed to.
Before we build anything, we need to understand what we're working with. We assess the current state of your books, your processes, your systems, and your team. We map how work actually flows — not how it's supposed to — and identify every bottleneck, gap, and manual workaround that's costing your team time.
What this includes:
✓ Full review of chart of accounts, trial balance, and financial statements
✓ Process audit: how does work actually flow through your finance function?
✓ System inventory: what tools are in use, what's connected, what's manual?
✓ Team assessment: who does what, where are the gaps, where is the bottleneck?
✓ Prioritized roadmap of what to fix, automate, and build

Steady State & Optimization (Ongoing or Handoff)
We transition into ongoing oversight or prepare for full handoff — training your team and documenting everything.

✓ Team training and knowledge transfer (project model)
✓ System inventory: what tools are in use, what's connected, what's manual?
