Outsourced Controller Services for Reliable Financial Oversight

Even with good bookkeeping, small errors and late reports can snowball—leaving your business exposed to costly surprises. A.L. Schmidt CPA’s controllership services deliver executive-level oversight, so your books stay accurate, timely, and audit-ready every month.

Our outsourced controllers bring clarity, structure, and peace of mind. We oversee your accounting processes, enforce policies, and ensure you get financial reports you can trust—freeing you to focus on running your business, not chasing down numbers.

What Does a Controller Do?

A controller acts as your lead accountant, ensuring all day-to-day financial operations are correct and on schedule. Our services include:

  • Overseeing bookkeeping staff or handling your books end-to-end
  • Managing month-end and quarter-end closings
  • Preparing and reviewing financial statements
  • Conducting variance analyses and indirect rate tracking
  • Overseeing accounts receivable (A/R) and accounts payable (A/P)
  • Ensuring compliance with accounting standards and DCAA rules (for contractors)


We can supplement your existing team or serve as your entire accounting department.

Internal Controls—Protecting Your Business

Our controllers design and monitor policies to prevent mistakes, misstatements, and fraud. For government contractors, this means:

  • Timekeeping verification and audit trail checks
  • Segregation of duties for cost allowability
  • Excluding unallowable costs from billings
  • Proper documentation for all expenses


Solid internal controls reduce your risk and help keep contracts and compliance on track.

    Controls catch errors early, prevent fraud, and ensure compliance. For contractors, they’re essential for DCAA and federal requirements.
