Elise S.

I'm a controller for a multi-location organization, and multi-site books are all I've done for 10+ years — including 37 healthcare practices across 5 states, where I owned every P&L, every balance sheet, and every close. I take on 1–2 fractional clients who want that same controller-level ownership without a $120K+ full-time hire. If your close is late, your forecast is a guess, or your books wouldn't survive a lender's review, that's exactly the work I do. What I handle: ✔ Month-end close — delivered on time, with a reporting package your leadership team can actually use ✔ 13-week cash flow forecasts — no more surprise tight months ✔ Cleanup and catch-up — behind or messy books made current and audit-ready ✔ Budgets, rolling forecasts, and actuals-vs-plan variance analysis ✔ Financials packaged for lenders, investors, or due diligence ✔ Sales tax nexus compliance — I brought a manufacturer into compliance in all 46 jurisdictions ✔ Revenue recognition (ASC 606) implementation and monthly controls Why multi-location businesses hire me: Dental and ortho groups, veterinary hospitals, childcare centers, franchises — multi-site businesses have problems generalist bookkeepers can't touch: entity-level and consolidated reporting, intercompany transactions, provider commission calculations, and payroll cost control across locations. I've spent my career doing exactly this, including six veterinary hospitals with a rolling 18-month forecast and external audit support. Systems: NetSuite, Adaptive Planning, QuickBooks Online, and AP automation implementation (Airbase). A bookkeeper records what happened. I make sure it's right, explain what it means, and build the process so it stays right. Most clients need 5–10 hours a month. I respond within one business day and deliver on the dates I commit to. Send me a message with where your books stand today, and I'll tell you what it would take to fix them.
