Frequently Asked Questions

What does an outsourced controller do for a CPA firm?

Your dedicated Etisson controller handles month-end close, accruals, prepaids, depreciation schedules, inter-company reconciliation, payroll reconciliation, financial statement preparation, and actual vs budget analysis — all the controller-level work your partners shouldn't be doing themselves.

How is a controller different from a bookkeeper?

A bookkeeper records day-to-day transactions. A controller oversees the entire accounting process reviewing the bookkeeper's work, managing the close, preparing financial statements, and ensuring the numbers are accurate and decision-ready. Etisson provides both, and they work together within your firm's workflow.

How quickly can an Etisson controller get started?

Most engagements go live within one week of signing. Your controller is assigned, onboarded into your systems, and executing by the end of Week 1.

What does month-end close look like with Etisson?

Your controller manages the full close checklist reconciliations completed, accruals and prepaids posted, depreciation updated, financial statements prepared, and working papers packaged. You get a clean, review-ready close every single month.

How much can my CPA firm save by outsourcing controller services?

Most CPA firms save 50 to 60 percent compared to hiring a US-based in-house controller once salary, payroll taxes, benefits, and overhead are factored in. Etisson's controller engagement starts at $2,500 per month flat.

Does Etisson work inside our existing software?

Yes. Your controller works inside your existing tech stack — QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Bill.com, and Xenett. No migrations, no disruptions.

Is client financial data secure?

Yes. Every engagement includes role-based access controls, encrypted communication, and confidentiality agreements with all team members.
