Accounting, Controller & CFO Services in Lexington, KY

Your outsourced finance department, from clean monthly books to controller-level rigor to CFO-level guidance. One team that grows with you, based in Lexington, KY and serving growing businesses nationwide.

We provide financial clarity that helps clients make better business decisions. Below is the full range of what we handle, grouped by the job it does: leadership that interprets the numbers, operations that produce them, and the support work that keeps a business compliant. Many relationships begin with bookkeeping or financial reporting and expand into Controller or Fractional CFO support as the business grows.

Financial Leadership

Senior financial leadership at the level your business actually needs. Controller work comes first, because accurate information has to exist before anyone can plan with it.

A controller makes sure the information is right before anyone acts on it. This is where most engagements find their footing: the close gets owned, the balance sheet gets verified rather than assumed, and someone sits down and explains what the reports actually say. Every Controller engagement follows the BAS Controller Methodology, a disciplined approach to financial accuracy, balance sheet verification, reporting, internal controls, and management communication.

The close runs on a calendar and someone is accountable for finishing it correctly and on time.
