Who handles what

One team runs all four parts of the money

Instead of hiring billing, AP, bookkeeping, controller and planning roles one by one, or doing the work yourself, you get one department that covers all of it.

  1. Money in

    Your billing & AR team

    Full billing from “sold” forward, and the follow-up that gets you paid.

    • Invoicing your clients
    • Receivables follow-up
    • Calling clients who owe you money
  2. Money out

    Your AP team

    Accounts payable end to end, so vendors are paid correctly and on time.

    • Approving vendors
    • Paying bills correctly
    • Tracking every due date
  3. What’s ahead

    Your Controller

    A clear view of where cash is heading before you get there.

    • Cash-flow projections
    • Financial model updates
    • Scenario modeling & budgeting
  4. What it means

    Your bookkeepers & Controller

    Accurate books and reports you understand, with someone to walk you through them.

    • Bookkeeping & reconciliations
    • Financial reporting & KPIs
    • Budget-to-actual

How money moves You approve. We execute. Your Controller reviews every payment. Every payment and every close is reviewed. We manage payments and collections for you, on your approval.
