What this is worth

This is the difference between a 6x and a 9x business.

What happens when you can't see clearly
What seeing clearly actually means

What the numbers should show you.

Principled Growth
Where to invest, where to pull back, which levers move the business — grounded in what the numbers actually show.
Where the Money Comes From
Margin by customer, product, and service — not just the aggregate number at the bottom of the P&L.
Where the Money Goes
Which parts of the business fund growth, which ones quietly drain it, and how that's shifting.
Profit vs. Cash
The gap between what the P&L says you earned and what actually landed in the bank.
Tax Readiness
Compliance handled, strategies applied, year-end without the panic — so you keep more of what you earn.
A Plan You Can Defend
A forecast that holds up in front of a banker, a partner, or a board — with variance you can explain.

A Sync Executive Partners practice of Controllers, CPAs, attorneys, and senior finance specialists — delivering full finance expertise to growing businesses nationally, without the cost or complexity of an in-house team.

Frequently asked questions

What is Sync Controller?
Sync Controller is an ongoing monthly financial operations engagement for founder-led businesses between $5M and $50M in revenue. It provides a real monthly close, margin visibility by customer and channel, and a driver-based forecast — without the cost of a full-time controller hire.
Who is Sync Controller designed for?
Sync Controller is designed for growing founder-led businesses that need controller-level financial operations — clean monthly close, margin reporting, cash visibility — but are not yet large enough to justify a full-time controller hire. Typically companies between $5M and $50M in revenue.
How is Sync Controller different from a bookkeeper or accountant?
A bookkeeper records transactions. An accountant files returns. Sync Controller provides a full finance function — delivering margin by customer and channel, cash conversion analysis, and a forecast that holds up in front of a banker or board.
How does Sync Controller differ from Sync-to-Sale?
Sync Controller is an ongoing monthly engagement — it runs the finance function month to month. Sync-to-Sale is a one-time exit preparation project for companies 12 to 24 months from a transaction. If the goal is monthly operational finance, Sync Controller is the right engagement. If the goal is preparing for a sale or capital event, Sync-to-Sale is the right engagement.
Does Sync Controller support DCAA compliance for GovCon companies?
Sync Controller is designed primarily for non-GovCon founder-led businesses. For government contracting companies with DCAA accounting system requirements, indirect rate obligations, and ICS filing needs, a GovCon-specific fractional CFO engagement is more appropriate.
