Frequently Asked Questions
What accounting services does a manufacturer actually need?
Most established manufacturers need three layers: accurate bookkeeping with inventory and cost of goods sold handled properly, a controller-level month-end close with job or product costing, and CFO-level planning for cash, pricing and capital. Smaller plants may start with the first two; growing ones usually need all three, in-house or outsourced.
How much does a fractional CFO cost for a manufacturer?
Fractional CFO support for small and mid-sized manufacturers commonly runs a few thousand to around ten thousand dollars a month, depending on scope and hours. The alternative, a full-time manufacturing CFO, typically starts at $250,000–$300,000 in base salary before bonus, benefits and recruiting. Our engagements are scoped on a free call.
How much does outsourced accounting cost for a small manufacturer?
Outsourced bookkeeping and controller support for small and mid-sized manufacturers is usually a flat monthly fee driven by transaction volume, entities, inventory complexity and reporting needs. Compare it with the in-house alternative: a full-time controller typically starts around $175,000 in base salary before benefits and payroll taxes. Our engagements are scoped on a free call.
Do I need a controller or a CFO?
If your books close late, inventory doesn’t tie out or margins can’t be trusted, you need controller-level work first: an accurate, on-time close. If the numbers are reliable but you need help deciding what to do with them — cash planning, pricing, capital, lenders — you need a CFO. Many manufacturers need both at different intensities.
Can you work with our existing bookkeeper and CPA?
Yes. We regularly build on top of an in-house bookkeeper, adding the close, costing and CFO layer they shouldn’t be expected to provide. We are not a CPA firm and don’t prepare tax returns, so we work alongside your CPA, delivering clean, reconciled books at year-end and coordinating on decisions with tax consequences.
Do you only work with manufacturers?
Manufacturing is our core practice, and almost all of our clients make, assemble or import physical products. That focus is why we can get inventory, work in process, costing and the cash cycle right from the first month instead of learning how a plant works on your time.
