Our Controller Services

At Backyard Bookkeeper, our bookkeeping clients already enjoy controller-quality services. Controllers fill a mid-level accounting role that falls in between that of a bookkeeper and that of a CFO. While bookkeepers manage the day-to-day record-keeping, controllers are responsible for the integrity and precision of financial statements, ensuring they are tailored to your needs and provide an accurate representation of what is happening in your business. Our bookkeepers understand the importance of the balance sheet. As needed or upon request, we work with you to customize your chart of accounts. Generalized charts of accounts often fail to reflect current trends in spending, and in many cases, do not allow for the optimization of accounting processes. This could hurt the growth of your business as well as your bottom line. Customized, industry-specific accounts and subaccounts enable you to advantageously track your unique expenses and revenue streams to better meet your earning goals. 

We also offer financial controller consulting services outside of standard bookkeeping packages. We’ll tackle your trickiest budget creation and tracking issues and work with your bookkeepers to create custom-designed accounting processes that facilitate increased profitability and expansion. In addition, our consulting clients can take advantage of our accounting software implementation and integration expertise. Whether your business has no software or accounting processes in place or you just need a hand with established software or data migration, we’ve got you covered.
