FAQ

Questions about our approach

Why are bookkeeping and controllership combined?

Because books without oversight are just data entry. Combining them means every close is reviewed and signed off before it reaches you — accurate, interpreted, and decision-ready.

What if my books are behind or messy?

That's where most clients start. Cleanup and chart-of-accounts architecture are part of onboarding — the diagnostic is confidential.

Which accounting platforms do you work with?

QuickBooks, Xero, Oracle NetSuite, and Sage.

Can TMA help us prepare for a funding round or audit?

Yes. We keep financials investor- and auditor-ready year-round, so there's no scramble when a round or review comes up.

Common pain points

What bad books cost.

Four symptoms that show the close is not supporting the business.

01
Misleading profit

Cash basis distorts the month

Good and bad months can look exactly backwards.

02
Stale decisions

Close takes weeks

You manage today from an old rearview mirror.

03
Risk compounds

No controller review

Errors stay in the books until they become expensive.

04
No visibility

Wrong chart of accounts

Your P&L stops explaining how the business works.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

What's the difference between a bookkeeper and a controller?

A bookkeeper records transactions. A controller reviews them for accuracy, applies accounting judgments, ensures GAAP compliance, and produces financials you can rely on. TMA provides both — with controller oversight on every close.

Do you work with QuickBooks, Xero, or NetSuite?

Yes. We work with all major accounting platforms. We'll use whatever platform is right for your business — and we can help you migrate if your current platform isn't serving you.

How long does a historical cleanup take?

Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on how far back and how complex. We give you a clear timeline after the diagnostic call.

Ready for books you can actually trust?

Start with a 30-minute discovery call. We'll assess your current books and outline exactly what TMA would build for you.
