In-house fit
Daily office admin, cash handling, physical paperwork, same-day customer or vendor coordination, and work that requires someone on site.
Northline Books & Owner Finance
Before hiring finance staff, price the output you need.
Northline helps small businesses turn messy books, month-end tasks, and owner reporting into a scoped remote finance support plan without adding payroll, benefits, HR, or another office seat.
Request a remote finance fit reviewIn-house is not wrong. It just has to match the work.
Remote finance fit
Bookkeeping cleanup, reconciliations, month-end checklists, owner reports, cash timing, budget-versus-actual, and controller-readiness after the books are reliable.
Northline fit review
A practical read on whether the work belongs in a job posting, a cleanup project, recurring remote support, or your CPA/controller lane.
Cleanup readiness first. Owner finance second.
Bookkeeping cleanup
Messy QuickBooks, Xero, bank, card, and PDF records reviewed so the next cleanup step is obvious.
Reconciliations
Unreconciled bank and card activity, missing statements, duplicate entries, and owner charges separated from guesswork.
Owner finance readiness
Budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow, and FP&A views after the records are clean enough to support them.
The offer is a cleanup scorecard and hiring-fit review.
Record completeness
Which months have bank, card, loan, payroll, and sales records available enough to review.
Reconciliation risk
Where reports stop matching source records, where duplicate activity may exist, and where owner input is needed.
Next cleanup step
A short path from messy records to usable reports before anyone tries forecasting or budget-versus-actual work.
