Accepted Answer

BooksCure is your outsourced financial back office. A dedicated team handles your monthly bookkeeping, tax preparation and filing, payroll, and controller and CFO support.

Question 10

How far back can you go?

Accepted Answer

As far as you need, whether that is a few months or several years of unfiled or messy books.

Accepted Answer

It depends on how far behind you are and how clean the records are. After a quick review, we give you a clear timeline before any work begins.

Question 12

Do I need to catch up before filing taxes?

What do controller services include?

Accepted Answer

A controller adds oversight above day-to-day bookkeeping: a monthly close, a review of your books for accuracy, cash flow tracking, and clear reporting you can act on.

Question 21

How is a controller different from a bookkeeper?

Accepted Answer

Your bookkeeper records and reconciles transactions. A controller reviews that work, owns the monthly close, tightens your processes, and turns the numbers into reporting for decisions.

Most businesses add controller support when the books get more complex, when they have multiple accounts or entities, or when they need reliable monthly reporting for lenders or investors.
