Tier 01 — The Foundation

Accounting & Close

Everything starts here. Clean, accurate books and a monthly close process that runs like clockwork. If your financials are always behind, always messy, or always a surprise — this is where we begin.

We take ownership of the day-to-day accounting so you can stop worrying about whether your numbers are right and start using them to make decisions.

  • Bookkeeping & transaction coding
  • Monthly close process management
  • Monthly financial statement delivery
  • Bank & credit card reconciliation
  • Historical cleanup & catch-up
  • Chart of accounts optimization

Tier 02 — The Engine

Financial Operations

Cash doesn't manage itself. This tier installs the operational machinery that keeps money moving predictably — inbound, outbound, and everywhere in between.

We design and maintain the workflows that prevent cash surprises, reduce manual effort, and give you real-time visibility into where your money is going.

  • Accounts receivable workflow design
  • Accounts payable management
  • Payroll support & coordination
  • Expense management & policy
  • Internal controls implementation
  • Vendor & subscription rationalization

Tier 03 — The Lens

Controller Services

Numbers without context are noise. This tier transforms your financial data into the visibility you need to understand margins, track performance, and spot problems before they become crises.

We build the dashboards, establish the reporting cadence, and deliver the analysis that lets you see your business clearly — not just historically, but in real time.

  • Job costing & margin reporting
  • Monthly KPI dashboard
  • Budget vs. actual analysis
  • Operational reporting cadence
  • Department-level P&L reporting
  • Scaling readiness assessment

Tier 04 — The Edge

Advisory Leadership

This is where accounting becomes strategy. Fractional finance leadership for owners who need a thinking partner — someone who connects the numbers to the decisions and the decisions to the outcomes.

You get a financial leader at your table without the full-time cost. We forecast, plan, analyze, and help you make the calls that shape where your business goes next.

  • Cash flow forecasting
  • Annual budget creation & management
  • Pricing analysis & strategy
  • Profitability strategy
  • Leadership decision support
  • Financial team structure advisory
Alinëa to... alignment.

More Than Bookkeeping. Less Than a Full-Time CFO. Exactly What You Need.

Operational Rhythm Design

We don't just do books. We install cadence — weekly cash reviews, monthly closes that happen on time, quarterly strategy syncs. This is operational infrastructure.

Process → Decision Bridge

The rarest skill in outsourced accounting: connecting what the numbers say to what you should actually do. Not "here's your report" — "here's what it means."

Scaling Readiness

The jump from $2M to $8M breaks most back-offices. We diagnose what will break before it breaks, and build the systems to handle what's coming.

Tool Stack Clarity

Growing businesses accumulate software like barnacles. We see what's redundant, what's missing, and what needs to talk to each other — because we live in those systems daily.

Not sure which tier is right?

We'll figure that out together. Every engagement starts with a conversation about where you are and where you're headed.
