A Note from
Brett J. Federer, CPA

A quick hello, a little about who I am and the kind of work I might be able to help you with.

Without
Controller-Level Structure

Accounting absorbs leadership time

​

Close cadence drifts


Reports require interpretation


Accounting close has no owner


Historical issues keep resurfacing


No documented accounting policy


Decisions require digging

​

ERP conversion left the books worse
 

Forecast and actuals never align

 

1099s filed late, wrong, or not at all
 

​

With
Controller-Level Structure

Leadership stays above the accounting


Close runs on a defined cadence


Reports are structured for clarity


Accounting close has an owner


Historical issues are scoped and addressed


Accounting policy formally documented

Decisions rest on stable numbers

​

Accounting side of ERP is stabilized

​

Actuals sync into your forecast monthly

 

1099s prepared and filed on schedule
