Fractional CFO & Controller in Mansfield, TX

There’s a stretch where a business is too big for a bookkeeper and too small for a $140,000 Controller. Reporting gets sloppy, cash gets tight without warning, and decisions get made on instinct. Abbey spent 20 years in that seat and now fills it for businesses that need the oversight but not the salary.

What Controller-Level Support Actually Covers

Not a monthly report, but a phone call. Here’s what we take ownership of when we step into the seat.

Close Management

The monthly close runs on a schedule and lands on time. Accruals, allocations, and cut-offs are handled correctly, so the numbers you’re reading are the numbers that happened.

Controls & Process

Where money can leak, where errors slip through, and who approves what. Abbey builds checks that catch problems before your CPA or your bank does.

Cash Flow Forecasting

A rolling view four weeks out. You stop finding out about a tight payroll the week it’s due, and start seeing it while there’s still time to act.

Decision Support

Hires, equipment, expansion, lender conversations. You get the financial case modeled before you commit, not explained after the fact.

GETTING STARTED

Not sure you need this yet?

Most owners wait too long. The books are getting done, nothing is on fire, and hiring a Controller feels premature. Here are the three signals that usually mean it isn’t.

You Can't Answer Basic Questions
Which jobs made money. Whether payroll clears in six weeks. What the numbers say about hiring. If your books are current and you still can't answer these, that's a leadership gap, not a bookkeeping one.
You're Growing Faster Than Your Systems
Revenue is up and the close takes longer every month. Processes that worked at one scale quietly stop working at the next, usually without anyone noticing until something breaks.
You're Facing a Decision You Can't Model
A hire, a piece of equipment, a second location, a lender conversation. You need the financial case built before you commit, not explained after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about fractional Controller and CFO support.

What's the difference between a Controller and a CFO?
A Controller owns what already happened: the close, the controls, the accuracy of your reporting. A CFO looks forward: forecasting, budgets, and the financial case behind decisions. Most businesses need the Controller work solid before the CFO work is worth anything.
How is this different from hiring someone full-time?
Same oversight, part-time. A full-time Controller in North Texas runs well over six figures plus benefits and payroll tax. You get the function for the hours your business actually needs, and you can scale it up as you grow.
How many hours a month is this?
It depends on scope and gets defined before anything starts. Some clients need a few days a month, others need weekly involvement. You'll know the commitment and the cost before you agree to either.
Do you replace my bookkeeper?
Not necessarily. Some clients keep their bookkeeper for day-to-day entry and bring Abbey in above them for oversight, process, and reporting. Others find one person handling both is simpler. Either works.
