Service
Fractional Accounting Department
An outsourced accounting department that owns the monthly cadence: AP/AR workflows, reconciliations, close, and reporting. You get clean books, decision-ready reporting, and a predictable review rhythm without building an in-house team. We translate the numbers into plain-English insights and an action list, then keep the system running.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you book.
We own the monthly accounting cadence end to end: close, reconciliations, reporting, and ongoing workflow improvement. You get consistent delivery, clear ownership, and decision-ready reporting without hiring a full internal team.
We set a close calendar during onboarding. Most clients receive reports shortly after month-end once reconciliations are complete and key questions are resolved.
Yes, within scope. We help set up clear workflows for bills, approvals, payments, invoicing, and collections so AP/AR stays current and predictable.
Yes, we can handle payroll for you. We manage the inputs, coordinate with your payroll provider, and make sure payroll is posted accurately in your books each cycle. Any setup or cleanup work is scoped explicitly.
We can. Some clients want us to fully own the cadence; others keep internal support and we define responsibilities to avoid duplicated work. The goal is one clear owner of the close and reporting.
We support common stacks, including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and Xero, plus payroll, bill pay, and invoicing tools. We work within your current setup and recommend improvements when it meaningfully reduces friction.
Timely access to bank and credit statements, clarity on unusual transactions, and approval for payments when needed. We keep requests focused and build a cadence that minimizes interruptions.
Yes, at a practical level. We can build and maintain simple budgets and forecasts tied to actuals and variance so the model stays useful, not performative.
We keep books tax-ready and maintain supporting schedules year-round. Filing support can be handled by EJC Financial where it is a fit, or coordinated cleanly with your CPA; we confirm responsibilities and deadlines during onboarding.
Scope can evolve. If transaction volume, entities, or reporting needs change, we adjust responsibilities and pricing so delivery stays consistent and decision-ready.
