AccountingDepartment.com

Bookkeeping, controller, and CFO advisory — all in one partner, since 2004.

Built for where you're going, not just where you are.

What they do

AccountingDepartment.com offers scalable accounting and advisory solutions specifically designed for growth-focused and entrepreneur-led businesses, providing the financial clarity, expertise, and guidance that leaders use to make strategic decisions and achieve sustainable growth.

Founded in 2004, we go beyond bookkeeping to become your complete outsourced accounting department — day-to-day transaction work and month-end close, controller oversight, and CFO-level advisory, delivered by a dedicated, assigned team rather than a rotating cast. More than 200 full-time, W-2 employees — certified accounting staff, credentialed controllers, and advisory professionals — work exclusively on outsourced accounting.

We have been 100% virtual since long before it was common, which means we build teams from experienced accounting talent wherever we find it, rather than within driving distance of an office. Our clients run on QuickBooks, NetSuite, and Sage Intacct, supported by 80+ integrated accounting technology applications, with real-time dashboards and KPI reporting that turn clean books into decisions leadership can act on.
AccountingDepartment.com is a 2025 Inc. Power Partner and a 2026 Inc. Best Workplaces honoree.

Who is our ideal client?

  • Industry agnostic
  • $1 million to $100 million+ in annual revenue
  • Privately held, founder- and family-led businesses
  • U.S. companies nationwide, including U.S. subsidiaries of foreign companies

 

Where we do our best work:

  • Scaling operators — consulting firms, marketing agencies, software and IT services, professional services
  • Complex multi-entity operators — manufacturing, multi-state and holding-company structures, wholesale distribution, acquisitive businesses
  • Regulated and mission-driven organizations — nonprofits, medical practices, healthcare-adjacent and licensed providers, where audit-readiness and confidentiality matter more than revenue size
  • Government contractors — DCAA-compliant accounting built on eFAACT, structured around audit-readiness and Sub-to-Prime transitions
  • NetSuite companies — e-commerce, inventory-heavy and multi-entity operators running or migrating to NetSuite
  • Lean and early-stage businesses — outgrowing DIY bookkeeping and looking for a provider they won’t have to replace in two years

 

What is our pricing structure?

Fixed monthly fee — no hourly billing, no surprises. Four scalable service tiers, with a transparent, detailed proposal scoped to complexity and service level:

  • Essential — Bookkeeping foundation, month-end close, reconciliations, and core reporting. Best fit: roughly $1–3M in revenue, including startups.
  • Core — Full outsourced accounting department with dedicated controller oversight and management reporting. Best fit: roughly $2–10M in revenue.
  • Complete — Controller services plus advisory: job costing, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and KPI dashboards. Best fit: roughly $5–20M+ in revenue, including government contractors and NetSuite clients.
  • Pinnacle — Everything in Complete plus fractional CFO support, strategic planning, advanced modeling, and board-ready reporting. Best fit: $8–50M+ in revenue.

What they deliver

  • Dedicated, assigned accounting teams — not a shared service pool
  • Controller and CFO-level oversight built into the engagement
  • Best practices in operational and financial management
  • Advanced technology systems and integrations
  • Always-accurate, always-on-time monthly financials

Call them when

  • Growth has outrun the accounting function, and the people who used to “just know” the numbers can’t keep up
  • An internal accounting hire left, or a series of them didn’t stick
  • An acquisition, a second entity, or a new location added complexity the current setup can’t absorb
  • A lender, investor, board, or regulator now requires audit-ready reporting
  • A DCAA-compliant accounting system became a prerequisite for a Prime award or a Cost-Plus contract
  • NetSuite is in place or coming, and no one internally can run it
