A cleaner monthly close, without hiring a controller

Beankeeper's outsourced controller services give founders and finance leaders a real owner for the recurring finance work, so AP, AR, payroll, and the monthly close stay on track without another full-time hire. It starts at $1,500 a month and includes everything in Bookkeeping.

When you've outgrown basic books but a full-time controller is more than you need, this is the level of support that fills the gap.

What your controller actually does each month

Controller gives your recurring finance work a clear owner, so you spend less time chasing bills, collections, payroll, and reports.

  • AP and AR, owned end to end. Vendor bills get paid on time and unpaid customer invoices get followed up.
  • Check runs and collections, on a schedule. We follow up every two weeks, so nothing sits untouched between reports.
  • Reporting that shows up on time. You review current numbers instead of waiting for someone to assemble them.
  • Payroll, run for you. Direct deposit or check, with approval authority wherever you want it.

None of it runs on autopilot. Beankeeper is AI-enabled, never AI-replaced.

Everything in Bookkeeping, plus a real owner for the work

Controller is the step up from Bookkeeping, and it includes everything Bookkeeping does: transaction coding, monthly reconciliations, and month-end statements. On top of that, you get an owner for the recurring finance operations, and you'll meet with Kevin Hwang twice a month.

You won't outgrow us. When you want forward-looking planning, FP&A is there, and when you want senior financial leadership, a fractional CFO is too.
