What I'm looking for

Remote fractional-controller or contract accounting work, 30-40 hrs/week. CPA, 15+ years across small-business, federal, and nonprofit accounting, with deep internal-controls expertise from federal audit. Ideal fit: companies needing controller-level reporting, monthly close, and forecasting without a full-time hire. Fractional, contract, or part-time. Fully remote.

Maryland-licensed CPA (MBA) and fractional controller with 15+ years across accounting, audit, and tax for small-business, federal, and nonprofit clients. I own a virtual CPA firm serving a multi-client portfolio — full-cycle accounting, monthly close, forecasting, financial reporting, payroll, and tax. My federal audit background (DCAA, FEMA, OMB A-123) means internal controls and clean documentation are second nature. I build efficient cloud-accounting workflows and deliver decision-ready financials on deadline. I'm looking for remote fractional-controller, contract-accounting, or forensic/compliance engagements I can deliver reliably around a 30–40 hour week.
