Common Questions

What we usually cover on the discovery call.

My books are a complete disaster right now. Is that a problem? +
Not at all. Almost every client starts with a cleanup phase. I have seen it all—mixed personal and business expenses, broken integrations, and months of un-reconciled accounts. There is no judgment. We get it cleaned up, establish a baseline, and move forward.
Do you file my annual taxes? +
I do not file annual tax returns, but I prepare your books so they are 100% tax-ready. When tax season comes, I package everything up and work directly with your CPA so you don't have to play middleman. (If you don't have a CPA, I can introduce you to a good one.)
Do you charge by the hour? +
No. I charge a flat monthly fee based on your transaction volume, complexity, and the level of support you need. You will never get a surprise bill because a reconciliation took longer than expected.
You're based in Istanbul. How does communication work? +
The timezone difference is actually your biggest advantage. I process your data and do the heavy lifting while the US sleeps, so you wake up to clean numbers. For communication, I am highly responsive on email during US working hours, and we jump on calls whenever needed.
How painful is it to switch to you from my current bookkeeper? +
Completely painless. Once we agree to work together, you just grant me accountant access to your QuickBooks/Xero and view-only access to your bank and merchant accounts. I handle the entire takeover, system audit, and cleanup from there. You don't have to lift a finger.
I need more than just bookkeeping. Can you handle my bills and invoices? +
Yes. That is exactly what the Fractional Controller tier is for. While bookkeeping is about recording the past, finance operations is about running the present. I can step in to manage your AP/AR, pay vendors on time, chase down overdue invoices, run payroll, and clear out the day-to-day finance tasks currently sitting in your inbox.
