Client Accounting Services & Outsourced Bookkeeping

Porter Accounting LLC provides client accounting services that work like an outsourced finance department. Outsourced bookkeeping and payroll support keep records organized, while controller-led close, GAAP financial statements, ASC 606 revenue recognition, audit readiness, and fractional CFO guidance give growing businesses the reporting and planning they need, delivered virtually without the complexity of a large accounting firm.

Our Client Accounting Services

Client accounting support that starts with accurate books and extends to controller, CFO, GAAP reporting, and technical accounting as your business grows.

Controller Services

Controller support provides month-end and year-end close oversight, financial data review, accrual adjustments, budget tracking, cash flow monitoring, and management reporting for businesses needing more than bookkeeping.

Fractional CFO Services

Fractional CFO guidance supports cash flow forecasting, budgeting, KPI tracking, financial analysis, and strategic planning tailored to business goals and growth decisions.

GAAP Financial Statements

Accrual-basis GAAP financial statements meet recognized accounting standards for lenders, investors, and other stakeholders while supporting accurate, reliable external reporting.

ASC 606 Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition support applies the ASC 606 five-step model to your contracts and maintains deferred revenue schedules for SaaS, subscription, project, and multi-element arrangements.

Audit Readiness

Audit preparation organizes reconciliations, schedules, and request lists, tightens the close, and supports your team in responding to external auditors or your CPA.

Outsourced Bookkeeping & Payroll

Recurring bookkeeping includes transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliations, payroll recording, and monthly financial statements, with tiered plans for simple through established businesses.

Bookkeeping Cleanup

Catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping addresses overdue records, corrects errors, and organizes financial information for lending decisions, investor review, and more dependable ongoing reporting.

Practical Financial Partnership

An Outsourced Finance Function, Not Just Books
