Good catch — $4,200 in software subscriptions renewed in May (annual contracts). Also flagged $1,100 in duplicate vendor charges that I'm disputing on your behalf. Your CPA reviewed and signed off on the close this morning.

Set up in a day. Delivered every month after that.

Onboarding takes less than a day. After that, Ghost Controller runs on a steady monthly rhythm — no reminders, no check-ins required from you.

01

Sign up

Subscribe for $595/month — no annual commitment. You'll hear from us within one business day to begin onboarding.

02

We onboard your accounts and set up your Slack channel

Connect your bank and credit card accounts. We handle the rest: organizing your books, configuring the workflow, and setting up your dedicated channel in Slack.

03

Your bookkeeping runs on a consistent monthly schedule

Transactions are categorized and reconciled on an ongoing basis. Month-end close is prepared on schedule — no reminders, no follow-up needed from you.

04

Your CPA-reviewed close arrives in Slack

A licensed CPA reviews every close before it reaches you. Your monthly financials — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow — are delivered in Slack. Ask questions and get clear answers the same day.

More hands-on than software. More structured than most bookkeeping services.

Ghost Controller gives small businesses a managed, CPA-reviewed bookkeeping service — more hands-on than software, more structured than most live bookkeeping options, at a price that makes sense.

vs. Bookkeeping software

Software doesn't close your books. We do.

Tools like QuickBooks require someone to do the actual work — categorizing, reconciling, catching errors, preparing the close. Ghost Controller does that work for you, every month, with a CPA reviewing the output.

vs. Intuit Live or similar services

A defined process, not just a subscription to someone's time.

Live bookkeeping services vary in responsiveness and depth. Ghost Controller runs a defined monthly process — bookkeeping, close, and CPA review — and delivers it on a predictable schedule, every month.

vs. A freelance bookkeeper or small firm

Reliable process, not reliant on one person's availability.

Freelance bookkeepers can go quiet, change capacity, or move on. Ghost Controller runs on a structured workflow with consistent output — and a licensed CPA reviewing every close before it reaches you.

vs. Hiring part-time controller help

Controller-level oversight at a fraction of the cost.

A part-time controller typically runs $2,000–4,000/month. Ghost Controller includes bookkeeping, monthly close, CPA review, and ongoing support for $595/month — because a more efficient process makes it possible.

Start for $595/mo

What you get every single month.

Consistent delivery. A predictable close. Human review before anything reaches you.

01

No more chasing your bookkeeper

Your books are maintained on a regular schedule. You don't need to ask where things stand — the work gets done, and you hear about it when the close is ready.

02

A monthly close you can count on

P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow prepared and delivered every month on schedule. You know it's coming, you know it's been reviewed, and you don't have to ask for it.

03

A licensed CPA reviews before you see it

Every monthly close is reviewed by a licensed CPA before it's delivered. You're not reviewing raw AI output — you're receiving work that a professional has already looked at.

04

Your financials come to you

Reports are delivered in Slack, where you're already working. No portal to check, no email chain to find, no logging into a separate dashboard to see where things stand.

05

Faster answers when questions come up

Ask about a vendor charge, your cash position, or what a number means — and get a clear, direct answer the same day from someone who knows your books. No scheduling required.

06

One flat monthly fee, no surprises

$595/month covers everything: bookkeeping, monthly close, CPA review, financial reporting, and ongoing support. No hourly rates, no add-ons, no end-of-month invoice surprises.

Built for small business owners who want bookkeeping done — not another thing to manage.

Ghost Controller isn't for everyone. Here's a quick way to tell if it fits your situation.

You want bookkeeping done for you

You're not looking for a tool to manage yourself. You want someone — or something — to handle your books reliably each month without you being involved in the day-to-day.

You want a clean monthly close, on schedule

You're tired of not knowing when your books will be ready or having to ask for an update. Ghost Controller delivers your close every month on a predictable schedule.

You want answers without scheduling a meeting

When you have a financial question, you want a fast, clear answer — not a calendar invite for next week. Your controller is in Slack and responds during business hours.

You're comfortable with Slack as your communication layer

Your financials, your monthly close, and your controller support are all delivered in Slack. If your team already works there, this fits naturally into how you operate.

One flat monthly fee. Everything included.

No hourly rates. No add-ons. No scope creep. $595/month covers the full service — bookkeeping, monthly close, CPA review, and ongoing support.

Professionally managed. Human-reviewed. Straightforwardly priced.

Here's what the service actually looks like under the hood.

Onboarding is simple. You connect your bank accounts — we do the rest.

Getting started takes less than a day. You connect your bank and credit card accounts — that's the one action on your end. We set up your bookkeeping workflow, configure your Slack channel, and confirm everything is running before the first close cycle begins.

A licensed CPA reviews every close. Every month. No exceptions.

Before any financial report reaches you, it's been reviewed by a licensed CPA. This isn't a spot-check or an optional upgrade — it's built into how the service works. You receive reviewed output, not raw automated data.

Straightforward pricing. No surprises at the end of the month.

$595/month covers everything: bookkeeping, close preparation, CPA review, reporting, and controller Q&A. There are no hourly charges, no add-on fees, and no invoice at the end of the month that's larger than you expected.

When you have a question, you get a real answer — fast.

Your controller is accessible in Slack during business hours. Ask about a transaction, your cash position, or anything on your financials — and get a clear, direct response from someone who knows your books. Not a chatbot. Not a ticketing system.

Answers before you commit.

If something isn't covered here, email hello@ghostcontroller.ai and you'll hear back the same day.

It's a service. You subscribe, we onboard your accounts, and we handle your bookkeeping every month. There's no software for you to learn, no dashboard to manage, and nothing to configure on your end. You connect your bank accounts once — we take care of the rest.

Yes. A licensed CPA reviews every monthly close before it's delivered to you. Your controller is also available in Slack to answer questions directly. The workflow is efficient, but there is always a qualified professional involved in reviewing your financials.

Very little. During onboarding, you'll connect your bank and credit card accounts — that's the main action on your end. After that, Ghost Controller handles the monthly bookkeeping and close. You receive your financials in Slack and can ask questions whenever you need to.

Slack is where most small business owners and operators already spend their time. Delivering your financials and support through Slack means no extra portal to log into, no separate inbox to check, and faster back-and-forth when questions come up. It keeps everything in one place.

For most small businesses, yes. Ghost Controller handles the work a bookkeeper would typically do — categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, preparing the monthly close — plus adds CPA review and controller-level support. It does not replace a CPA for annual tax filing, but it keeps your books in good shape year-round so that process is easier.

Within one business day, you'll receive a welcome message with your onboarding steps. You'll connect your bank and credit card accounts, and we'll set up your bookkeeping workflow and Slack channel. Once onboarding is complete, the monthly rhythm begins — and you'll receive your first close at the end of the month.

No. Ghost Controller is month-to-month. There's no annual commitment, no cancellation fee, and no minimum term. You can cancel at any time. There are also no setup fees — the $595/month covers everything from day one.
