Outsourced controller and monthly close for fintech companies

Greywood CPA provides controller-level accounting for fintech companies: a monthly close that reconciles processors, banks and customer funds, revenue by stream, and the regulatory reporting your licenses require. We work at a fixed monthly fee.

Licensed money transmitters typically file quarterly reports through NMLS and must keep net worth and permissible investments above each state's minimum. We keep those numbers current every month so a regulator or bank partner request never turns into a scramble. For audit clients, this work is done by a separate team so the audit stays independent.

Fintech controller FAQs

What regulatory reports does a money transmitter file?

Typically quarterly money services business call reports through NMLS, annual audited financial statements and license renewal filings, plus state-specific reports.

Can you reconcile Stripe and other processor data to our books?

Yes. We build repeatable reconciliations from processor exports and bank data so the general ledger matches transaction-level records every month.

Do you track net worth and permissible investments by state?

Yes. We calculate them monthly against each licensing state's requirement so you see a shortfall before a regulator does.

Can you be our controller and our auditor?

Independence rules limit this. For audit clients, a separate team does the accounting and we confirm up front what we can provide.

How do your fees work?

A fixed monthly fee based on entities, accounts, transaction volume and regulatory reporting.
