Outsourced Controller Services

Stronger accounting oversight without building a full in-house controller function.

Doral Tax & Accounting provides outsourced controller services designed to help businesses strengthen month-end close, financial reporting, accounting oversight, internal controls, reconciliations, and the day-to-day management of their accounting function.

We work with owners, management teams, and internal accounting staff to help create more accurate, organized, and reliable financial processes.

Better close. Better controls. Better financial information.

A More Disciplined Financial Close Process

Financial Statements Management Can Rely On

Financial Statement Review

Review income statements, balance sheets, cash flow information, and supporting schedules for accuracy, consistency, completeness, and unusual activity before reports are distributed to management.

Balance Sheet Reconciliations

Ensure key balance sheet accounts are supported by reconciliations and underlying documentation so reported balances can be understood and verified.

Journal Entry Review

Review significant, unusual, recurring, and adjusting journal entries to help improve consistency and reduce errors in the accounting records.

Closing Checklists

Develop and maintain structured closing checklists that assign responsibilities, deadlines, required reconciliations, and review procedures.

Oversight for the Entire Accounting Function

Strengthen Internal Controls & Financial Discipline

Internal Controls

Evaluate accounting processes and help implement appropriate checks, approvals, segregation of duties, documentation, and review procedures.

Strong internal controls can help businesses reduce errors, improve accountability, protect assets, and create more reliable financial information.

Areas of focus may include:

  • Cash handling and disbursements
  • Accounts payable approvals
  • Accounts receivable controls
  • Payroll review
  • Journal entry approvals
  • Bank reconciliations
  • Balance sheet reconciliations
  • Access to accounting systems
  • Month-end review procedures

Good controls support both accurate accounting and better business management.

When Does an Outsourced Controller Make Sense?

Your Business Is Growing

Transaction volume, staff, locations, and financial complexity are increasing faster than your existing accounting structure.

The Close Is Taking Too Long

Financial statements are delayed, reconciliations are incomplete, or month-end procedures are inconsistent.

Management Needs Better Reporting

Owners and executives need more dependable financial information to understand profitability, cash flow, and business performance.

You Need More Oversight

Your bookkeeping team handles daily transactions but needs experienced accounting review, supervision, and stronger processes.

Controller Oversight With a Broader Business Perspective

Controller services sit between daily accounting and higher-level financial management. That means the role is not only to make sure the books close correctly, but also to improve the quality of the information management receives.

Doral Tax & Accounting can help businesses connect accounting operations with tax planning, CFO services, cash flow management, budgeting, forecasting, and broader advisory needs.

Reliable accounting creates a stronger foundation for every financial decision that follows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an outsourced controller?
An outsourced controller provides higher-level accounting oversight without requiring the business to hire a full-time internal controller. Services can include financial statement review, close management, reconciliations, accounting staff supervision, policies, and internal controls.
How is a controller different from a bookkeeper?
Bookkeepers generally handle transaction-level accounting such as invoices, payments, deposits, and data entry. Controllers oversee the broader accounting process, review financial information, manage the close, supervise accounting staff, and help ensure the records are complete and reliable.
Can you manage our month-end close?
Yes. We can help create and manage month-end close procedures, including reconciliations, journal entry review, closing checklists, financial statement review, and management reporting.
Do you review financial statements?
Yes. Controller services can include internal review of financial statements and supporting schedules for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and unusual activity.
Can you supervise our existing accounting staff?
Yes. We can provide oversight and guidance to internal accounting personnel while helping establish clearer responsibilities, procedures, review standards, and closing expectations.
What are internal controls?
Internal controls are policies and procedures designed to improve accuracy, accountability, asset protection, and reliability within accounting and financial processes.
Can you help create accounting policies?
Yes. We can help establish practical accounting policies for recurring transactions, approvals, reconciliations, journal entries, closing procedures, and other areas of the finance function.
What are balance sheet reconciliations?
Balance sheet reconciliations compare reported account balances with supporting records to confirm that the amounts are accurate and explainable.
When should a business consider outsourced controller services?
Controller services can be valuable when a business is growing, financial reporting is delayed or inconsistent, management needs better information, internal accounting staff need more supervision, or the company is preparing for financing, an audit, acquisition, or other significant event.
