smb · $5–30M companies

Your back office,
on autopilot.

The finance infrastructure for a $5–30M company — Xero and Gusto as systems of record, transactions automated at the source, AI-built leadership dashboards on top. Your company owns every account; a fractional controller/CFO runs the whole thing for you.

the idea

Enterprise-grade infrastructure, without the enterprise.

Companies your size get stuck between QuickBooks-and-spreadsheets and a seven-figure ERP project. There's a third way: a standard, proven stack — ledger, payroll, spend, receipts, payments, warehouse, dashboards — installed in your company's name and run by a fractional controller/CFO. It costs $100–300 a month in infrastructure, the ledger largely writes itself, and your leadership team gets the reports a much bigger company would envy.

what you get

Three layers, one monthly fee

// the stack

Installed in your name

Xero, Gusto, Ramp, receipt capture, payments — the whole architecture stood up in accounts your company owns. Change advisors someday? You hand over admin rights. Your data never moves.

// the automation

Transactions coded at the source

Bank feeds with rules, cards and AP through Ramp, receipts through Dext or Hubdoc, AR through Stripe or GoCardless. The books keep themselves current; a controller reviews exceptions instead of keying entries.

How an engagement runs

// the dashboards

Reports your leadership team runs on

Cash, KPIs, AR, the income statement — built with AI on your governed data, behind your team's own Google or Microsoft sign-in. Then any report you want, because the data's already modeled.

Open a live example

Proof, not promises: the process side has a track record — I've cut a multibillion-dollar restaurant chain's close from 14 days to 4. Engagements are delivered through my advisory practice, Hundred Spires Advisory; advisory fees are scoped in the working session.
