Are you confused by your business financials? Hiring outside professionals can help.
You’re the CEO of your business and an expert in your industry, but does that expertise expand to the financial side of your business? If phrases like “projected profitability” and “cash flow” make you cringe, it’s time to call the experts at David Mills, CPA, LLC.
Chances are you didn’t get into business because the idea of managing financial statements appealed to you, yet your company’s success is directly related to the quality of your financial statements and the CFO (chief financial officer)/Controller Services overseeing them.
A head-in-the-sand approach to your business finances is a disaster waiting to happen. Just like ignoring your car’s check engine light can leave you stranded, not paying attention to finances can cripple your business.
Outsourced controller services from David Mills, CPA, LLC can help you make sense of your business financials.
More than 28% of bankrupt businesses cite problems with the financial structure of their company as a primary reason for failure.
Businesses fail because they forget about the basics. Have you taken the time to create a budget? If you have, do you regularly analyze the results? Is your business making a profit, yet you never seem to have money in the bank?
Hiring an outsourced controller/CFO is the smart way to keep your finger on the financial pulse of your business.
If financial statements make no sense to you, you won’t use them. You need controller services you can trust to interpret the statements for you.
Just because you may not have the budget for a full-time CFO doesn’t mean you don’t have alternatives.
With our Morton and East Peoria offices, our firm can provide CFO services on an “as-needed” basis to companies in the Tri-County area.
We can take full responsibility for the financial side of your business, work part-time, or train your staff. Our services are available on a monthly, quarterly or a specific-project basis.

Every business should be keeping track of their finances. And while nearly all large businesses or corporations have someone–or maybe even a team of people–bookkeeping for their business, small to medium size businesses tend to lack in this department. It is often due to the fact that the staff is too busy with the revenue generation activities like marketing or public relations. Bookkeeping keeps a record of purchases, sales, and receipts. Without it, financial transactions could be incorrectly recorded and future business planning could be compromised. This is why you should consider using our bookkeeping services. We offer both monthly and quarterly so you can focus on what’s important: your business.
Benefits of Outsourcing Bookkeeping:
Each month or quarter–depending on your chosen service–you will have access to all the files and information you might need for your business’ finances. It’s easily retrievable as well from a Quickbooks file so you can quickly and easily access any information you might need. Outsourcing your bookkeeping is a great way to approach finances for small to medium sized businesses, so make sure to give us a call. Our team of professionals is ready to help you and your business
