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
