Outsourced controller services, embedded in your business.
An outsourced controller, sometimes called a fractional controller, is a senior finance professional who owns your month-end close, reporting, and controls. Satinwood embeds one full-time in your business, with the seniority of a local hire, at a fraction of the cost.
What an outsourced controller does.
A controller owns the integrity of your numbers, not just the data entry. A Satinwood controller runs the following end to end, inside your own tools.
Month-end close
Owns the full close on a fixed cadence, with reconciliations done and the books locked on time, every month.
Financial reporting
Builds the monthly reporting pack leadership and investors can trust, with the judgment behind the numbers.
Controls and compliance
Sets and runs the internal controls that keep the numbers clean and the business audit-ready.
Cash and working capital
Tracks cash, AR, AP, and working capital so you always know your position and runway.
Budgeting and forecasting
Supports the budget and forecast, and the variance analysis that explains what actually happened.
Audit and raise prep
Gets the books and the file ready for an audit, a raise, or diligence, without the last-minute scramble.
A controller who owns your numbers.
Always senior
Controller level and above, qualified and experienced, with real ownership inside global firms.
Dedicated and embedded
Full-time and exclusive to you, inside your tools and team. Not a shared pool and not a pooled task queue.
Finance only
We place finance and nothing else. Most offshore providers are generalist marketplaces. We are a finance firm.
A fraction of the cost
The same seniority as a local controller, for far less, because the talent sits in a lower-cost market, not because the work is junior.
The seniority of a local hire, at a fraction of the cost.

Built for growing US and Canadian companies.
Your first finance leader
You have outgrown a bookkeeper and need someone to own the numbers, but it is not time for a full-time controller's salary.
Replacing a departing controller
Your controller left and the close cannot wait two or three months for a local hire to start.
Scaling past spreadsheets
The business has gotten complex and the reporting and controls need a senior hand to hold the standard.
Getting ready to raise or sell
You need clean books and an audit-ready file before diligence, and you need it handled now.
