Financial control for business owners

Outsourced financial controller for businesses in Israel, alongside your accountant

We work as an outsourced financial controller for businesses with ₪1M - ₪50M annual turnover: payment calendar, management P&L, management balance sheet and cash flow forecast. Your accountant (CPA) keeps reporting to the tax authorities; we use the same data to build the numbers you manage by. Meetings in Hebrew or Russian, on Zoom or at our Petah Tikva office. First step: a free 15-minute diagnostic call.

Profit on paper, overdraft in the bank

Why the reports show a profit while the bank account is overdrawn

This happens even with perfectly kept books. In most businesses revenue is booked when the tax invoice is issued, even if the client pays 60 days after month-end (shotef+60). Stock in the warehouse and loan principal repayments are not P&L expenses, yet the cash has already left the account.

So an owner needs two kinds of numbers. Your accountant prepares the reports for the authorities. The controller builds the payment calendar, profitability by line of business and a 13-week cash flow forecast.

Your accountant (CPA)

Reporting and compliance
  • Runs or supervises the bookkeeping.
  • Files VAT, income tax and National Insurance reports and prepares the annual statements.
  • Works on a closed period: a month, a quarter or a year.
Without this work the business has no reliable data.

Financial controller

Ongoing control for the owner
  • A weekly payment calendar and a 13-week cash flow forecast.
  • Management P&L by branch, client, product or project.
  • A management balance sheet, budget vs actual and numbers for the bank.
We work from the data in your existing bookkeeping.

The split mirrors the one between an accountant and a CFO, at the operational level: the controller keeps the numbers correct and ready every week, and strategic decisions stay with the owner.

What a controller does

What an outsourced financial controller does

We connect to your bookkeeping and bank accounts and build management reports from them. Ongoing support is a monthly retainer, from ₪3,500 + VAT per month.

Payment calendar

Payments and collections by day: suppliers, payroll, VAT, loans and cheques. You approve payments in advance and know what will be left in the account.

No surprises on payday

Management P&L

A monthly report by branch, client, product or project: where the business earns and where it funds a loss.

Profit for every line of business

Management balance sheet

How much cash is tied up in stock, how much clients owe and how much the business owes banks and suppliers.

Where the business's money is

Budget vs actual

An annual budget built with the owner and compared with actuals every month. Large deviations are explained in the same month.

Spending under control all year

Cash flow forecast and bank reconciliation

A 13-week cash forecast reconciled with bank statements, so the reports match the money in the account.

A cash shortfall shows up in advance

Bank-ready numbers and review meetings

Interim reports and a forecast when the bank asks. At a regular meeting we review the numbers with the owner and decide what comes next.

The numbers are ready when you need them
How we work

How to start working with an outsourced financial controller

You don't have to change your software or your accountant. We work with what the business already has.

  1. Free diagnostic

    You tell us about the business, and together we check what data exists and what the owner is missing.

  2. Access to the data

    Access to the bookkeeping software and bank export files. We agree directly with your accountant which information is shared and when.

  3. Management structure

    We map the bookkeeping accounts by branch, client, product or project and build the payment calendar and the first forecast.

  4. Monthly routine

    Closing the data, management P&L and balance sheet, comparison with the budget and a meeting with the owner. The numbers are also online in financial dashboards.

Controller or CFO

When a controller is enough, and when you need a CFO

The controller is responsible for correct numbers delivered on time. A CFO uses them to decide on pricing, financing, opening a branch or negotiating with banks.

A full-time CFO costs ₪35,000+ a month, and a business with ₪1M - ₪50M turnover does not always need one. An outsourced financial controller costs from ₪3,500 + VAT per month.

When questions of strategy and growth come up, you can add a fractional CFO who works from the same data.

FAQ

Questions about an outsourced financial controller

What is the difference between a financial controller and an accountant?

Your accountant (CPA) reports to the authorities: VAT, income tax, National Insurance and the annual statements, for a closed period. A financial controller works for the owner: payment calendar, management P&L, budget vs actual and a cash flow forecast. Both use the same data.

What is the difference between a financial controller and a CFO?

The controller runs day-to-day financial control and keeps the numbers correct and on time. A CFO uses them to decide on pricing, financing, growth and bank negotiations; we offer that as a separate fractional CFO service.

Do I need to replace my accountant?

No. Your accountant keeps handling reporting and the annual statements, and we work alongside them: we receive the data, agree the account structure with them and raise questions when something does not match the bank statements.

How much does it cost?

An outsourced financial controller costs from ₪3,500 + VAT per month. We quote the exact amount before work begins, based on the scope of your business. A full-time CFO, for comparison, costs ₪35,000+ a month. The first 15-minute diagnostic call is free.

Which accounting software do you work with?

Priority, Hashavshevet, Rivhit, Green Invoice (Morning) and iCount. Bank transactions come from your bank's export files (Leumi, Hapoalim, Discount and others).

Who is the service for?

Businesses with ₪1M - ₪50M annual turnover that have an accountant and orderly books but nobody turning the data into numbers for management. It helps most with several branches or projects, clients on deferred terms (shotef+) or stock.

What language are meetings in, and where?

Hebrew or Russian, on Zoom or at our office in Petah Tikva: B.S.R City, Tower I, 12th floor. Documents for the bank and your accountant are prepared in Hebrew.
