About This Role
Tee Up Advisors is a fractional CFO firm working with founder-led and PE-backed companies. We handle the forward-looking side (forecasting, board prep, capital markets, M&A prep). We're looking for a controller to handle the backward-looking side underneath us: clean books, accurate close, reporting we can trust.
This is contract work (1099), part-time and flexible, spread across multiple client engagements at once. You won't be embedded in one company full-time. You'll be the accounting backbone across several.
What you'll do:
- Own month-end and quarter-end close for multiple clients
- Review and clean up bookkeeping done by others where needed
- Build monthly and quarterly reporting packages that actually tell an owner how their business is doing
- Work inside each client's existing systems (QuickBooks and industry-specific tools like practice management software)
- Flag issues before they become CFO-level problems, not after
What we need from you:
- Several years of controller or senior accounting experience, ideally across multiple clients or industries
- QuickBooks fluency, non-negotiable
- Comfortable working independently. We don't have bandwidth to hand-hold on the basics
- Based in the Greater Sacramento area (occasional in-person meetings)
- Direct, clear communicator. You'll sometimes be the one telling an owner their numbers don't look good
If you like variety, want a flexible schedule, and know how to run clean books without someone standing over you, we'd like to talk.
Pay: $35.00 - $60.00 per hour
Expected hours: 10.0 – 30.0 per week
