Why It Matters in Arlington

Controller Support for Growing Arlington Companies

Arlington’s largest employers include General Motors, Arlington ISD, UT Arlington, Texas Health Resources and Six Flags Over Texas. Smaller distributors, contractors and service companies sell into that same market. The Great Southwest Industrial District, which Arlington shares with Grand Prairie, is described as the largest industrial park in North Texas, with warehouse, manufacturing and office space served by Union Pacific rail.

A full time controller in North Texas costs well over six figures plus benefits. For a company with 10 to 30 people, that is a hard number to carry. A fractional arrangement gives you accruals, cut-offs, controls and forecasting, with hours scoped to your business and room to add more as you grow.

Four week cash view

A rolling forecast shows where cash will be a month out and is updated as things change.

Decisions modeled first

Hires, equipment, expansion and lender requests are run through the numbers before you commit.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Arlington business owners ask about fractional CFO services.

Do you need to work on site at our Arlington office?
No. Abbey works fully remote, by phone and video, with documents shared online. She works directly in your accounting system and meets with you and your managers on video.
How much does a fractional CFO cost?
It depends on scope. After a free 30-minute call, Abbey reviews your current books and systems and gives you a written scope with what needs doing and what it costs.
When does an Arlington business need a fractional CFO instead of a bookkeeper?
Usually when the questions shift from what happened to what should we do next. If you are weighing a hire, a new location or a loan, or your close keeps slipping, controller level work fills that gap without a full time salary.
We are hiring. What payroll costs should we plan for beyond wages?
Plan for Texas Workforce Commission unemployment tax, which applies to the first $9,000 of each employee's wages in 2026. Most new employers start at 2.7 percent. Abbey builds these costs into the hiring model so you see what each new position really costs.
Can you help us get ready for a meeting with our bank?
Yes. Abbey models the request before the conversation, so you can show the lender how the loan fits your cash flow and how the payments look against your forecast.
