Small Business Bookkeeping & Fractional Comptroller Services
When you’ve outgrown basic bookkeeping but aren’t ready for a full-time finance hire, we act as your outsourced accounting department — giving you accurate books and comptroller-level insight.
WHY
OUTSOURCED
ACCOUNTING?
As your business grows, so does the complexity of your finances. Bank reconciliations, vendor payments, customer invoices, loan covenants, and tax deadlines all compete for attention.
​
Spreadsheets and “back of the envelope” systems only work for so long. Eventually, you need professional bookkeeping and financial oversight — but hiring a full-time controller is often out of reach.
​
Our fractional comptroller services bridge that gap, giving you access to experienced accounting support at a scale that fits a growing small business.
FRACTIONAL COMPTROLLER SUPPORT
Beyond keeping the books up to date, fractional comptroller support focuses on:
​
-
Reviewing and explaining financial results regularly
-
Helping you prepare for bank meetings or loan discussions
-
Supporting budget creation and monitoring
-
Coordinating with your tax preparer
-
Identifying issues early so you can address them before they become problems
You get a consistent accounting partner who understands your business, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
​
Whether your business makes $1,000 a month or a $500,000 a month, we're here to help!

HOW WORKING WITH US WORKS
Step 1 – Initial Review & Proposal
We review your current accounting system, whether it’s QuickBooks, another platform, or a mix of tools. We identify any urgent issues (like unreconciled accounts) and outline a service level that fits your needs.
​
Step 2 – Cleanup & Setup
If your books need cleanup, we tackle that project first. We also refine your chart of accounts, workflows, and reporting structure so future information is clear and consistent.
​
Step 3 – Monthly Rhythm
We establish a regular monthly rhythm for reconciliations, reporting, and meetings. You’ll know exactly when to expect updated reports and when we’ll walk through the results.
​
Step 4 – Ongoing Support & Adjustments
As your business grows, we can adjust your service level, add more oversight, or coordinate more closely with lenders and other advisors.

WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE US
When you hire an accounting firm, you’re not just hiring someone to enter transactions and file forms. You’re trusting a team with your organization’s story — how you earn, spend, give, and grow.
​
At The Springer Company, we take that trust seriously. We’re a bespoke firm by design, which means you work with real people who know your name, understand your situation, and stick with you over time. Our goal is to become a steady ally in the background, quietly keeping your financial world moving so you can focus on the work only you can do.
​
Key reasons clients stay with us:
​
-
Relationship first, always.
We listen before we recommend. We ask questions about how you operate, what keeps you up at night, and what “peace of mind” looks like for you. The numbers matter, but the people behind them matter more. -
Specialized in small employers, nonprofits, and small governments.
Our work is built around small employers, nonprofits, and small governments — not giant corporations. We understand board reporting, community expectations, and the realities of limited staff and budgets. -
Practical, real-world guidance.
We don’t try to impress you with jargon. We explain what your numbers are saying in plain language and focus on decisions you can actually act on. -
Integrated support instead of scattered vendors.
When payroll, bookkeeping, and tax aren’t talking to each other, things get missed. We connect those pieces wherever possible so your information is consistent and easier to manage. -
Consistency and continuity.
You don’t get a different person every time you call. You get a familiar team who knows your history, your priorities, and your patterns — and who can spot when something looks off. -
Calm in stressful moments.
Tax notices, audits, staff changes, and growth all bring pressure. We help you step through those situations with a plan, not panic, acting as a steady ally when things feel uncertain.
You can find another firm that will process transactions. If you’re looking for a partner who will learn your organization, stand beside you, and help you move forward with clarity, that’s the role we’re built for. It's why we say we are more than numbers, we're your ally!
