Your books should tell you what happens next.

Controller-level financial operations for owner-led companies — monthly close, statements you can trust, and a cash forecast that looks forward instead of back.

You're probably here because one of these is true

A full-time controller runs $150,000 or more once benefits and payroll taxes are counted — and the work doesn't fill forty hours. This is that role, sized to what you actually need.

Onboarding is a one-time fee of $3,500 to $7,500, scoped in writing after a diagnostic review. It covers chart of accounts cleanup, historical reconciliation, and building the close process your business will run on from then forward.

What's deliberately not included

This scope is a choice, not a limitation. No access to your money. No conflict with your tax preparer. No overlap with your bookkeeper. When you need attest work or a return filed, you'll get a referral to someone who does it well.

Who you'd be working with

Johnathan Jarboe, CPA, MBA

Ten years in the United States Navy. Director of Finance and Accounting at a private equity–owned company, where the role was built from a staff accounting seat in under two years and carried quarterly board presentations. Accounting Manager at a high-volume distributor. MBA with a concentration in accountancy, and all four CPA exam sections passed on first attempt within a single rolling twelve-month window.

The practice is remote, with occasional on-site work when a situation genuinely calls for it.
