Month-end is a scramble
Closing the books takes too long, and you're never quite confident everything is right.
You've outgrown basic bookkeeping
The business got more complicated. The bookkeeping didn't. And a full-time accountant doesn't make sense yet.
You need real financials
Accruals, reconciliations, proper reporting. Data entry only gets you so far. You need someone who knows accounting.
A close you can set your watch to.
- First week: prior month closed. Bank and credit card reconciliations, accruals booked, nothing left hanging.
- Mid-month: financial statements delivered, and a review call to walk through them in plain language.
- Every filing period: GST/PST prepared from books that already balance.
- If you've added them: payroll and AP run inside the same rhythm. Same close, same hands, one invoice.
Our firm(s) have been using Graeme Chong for over a year now and frankly speaking I am pleased. Always helpful, always available (within reason of course), and a keen accounting mind based on logic and professionalism.
Controller-level work, fractional dose.
Books closed properly: accruals, reconciliations, and real accounting, not just categorized transactions.
Statements delivered when you need them, with a standing review call so you always know what they mean.
A full-time controller in Vancouver runs six figures a year. This is the same discipline, sized to your stage.
Controller, bookkeeper, CFO: who does what?
How is this different from a bookkeeper?
A bookkeeper records what happened. A controller closes the month: accruals, reconciliations, and statements you'd be comfortable showing a bank. This tier includes the bookkeeping and builds the close on top of it.
Do I need a controller or a CFO?
If the pain is operational (slow closes, messy AP, no reliable statements), you need a controller. If the pain is decisions (cash planning, budgets, growth calls), that's the CFO tier, which includes everything on this page.
What does it cost, really?
From $2,500 a month, quoted against your actual volume before we start. For scale: hiring this role full-time in Vancouver is a six-figure salary before benefits.
What if the books are behind when we start?
Then step one is a one-time cleanup at a fixed quote. A controller service on top of messy books is just expensive guessing, so we fix the foundation first.
