FAQ: "Do I really need a fractional controller, or is my bookkeeper enough?"
A bookkeeper records what happened. A fractional controller helps you understand what it means and what to do about it.
For a contractor running jobs, a bookkeeper keeps the transactions organized. But if you are trying to understand which jobs are profitable, why your cash is tight even when revenue is up, or whether your pricing is actually covering your overhead — that is controller-level work.
A fractional controller brings monthly close, job costing, financial reporting, and cash flow analysis without the cost of a full-time hire. For contractors in the $500K–$10M range, it is often the missing piece between staying busy and actually building profit.
