Michelle M.

I am a results-driven Controller, Fractional Accounting Manager, and Bookkeeper with 17+ years of experience supporting Construction, Manufacturing, Real Estate, Service-based, and E-Commerce businesses. I help owners gain clarity, accuracy, and control over their finances — whether that’s through full-cycle bookkeeping or high-level financial oversight. I’ve led accounting, payroll, compliance, cash flow forecasting, budget vs actuals, Work-in-Process Schedules, and financial reporting for multi-million-dollar, multi-entity organizations, and I bring that same precision and accountability to small and growing businesses that need their books done right the first time. ⸻ BOOKKEEPING & ACCOUNTING SERVICES • Full-cycle bookkeeping (QuickBooks Desktop & Online) • Transaction coding & clean chart of accounts • Bank, credit card, and loan reconciliations • Monthly close & financial statement preparation • Catch-up & cleanup bookkeeping • AP & AR management (billing, collections, vendor payments) • Payroll processing & payroll tax support • Sales tax & compliance coordination ⸻ CONTROLLER & ADVISORY SERVICES • Budgeting, forecasting & budget vs. actual reporting • Cash flow & treasury management • WIP schedules & job costing • AIA billing (G702/G703), monthly draws & lien waivers • Contract compliance & certified payroll • Internal controls & process improvement • Multi-entity accounting & reporting oversight ⸻ INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE Construction & Manufacturing • WIP schedules, job costing & revenue recognition • AIA billing & progress billings • Inventory-heavy operations & cost controls • Cash flow forecasting • Job Profitability reports • Budgets vs Actuals Real Estate • Property management, development & investment entities • Multi-entity structures, loan tracking & financial reporting • Monthly close, reconciliations & performance reporting E-Commerce & Services • Day-to-day bookkeeping • Payroll processing • Monthly reporting & reconciliations ⸻ SYSTEMS & TOOLS Accounting: QuickBooks (Desktop & Online), PeopleSoft Construction Systems: Procore, Buildertrend, Oracle Textura, Trimble Pay Inventory: Epicor Bistrack Payroll: Gusto Reporting & Collaboration: Excel (advanced), Word, Teams, scheduling systems ⸻ WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME ✔ Controller-level expertise + hands-on bookkeeping ✔ Accurate, clean books you can trust ✔ Organized, deadline-driven, and proactive ✔ Strong communicator with owners, vendors & teams ✔ Construction & real estate accounting specialist — not a generalist ⸻ If you’re looking for a reliable Bookkeeper, Accountant, Accounting Manager, or Fractional Controller who can step in quickly and deliver clean, accurate financials, I’d love to connect.
