Controllership & Internal Controls

Enterprise-Grade Controls for Scaling Operations.

As operations scale, businesses need stronger internal controls to prevent inventory leaks, unauthorized spend, and GAAP non-compliance. Our controller team implements the guardrails that protect every dollar.

Risk & Controls

Controllership & Internal Controls

Growth introduces risk. More transactions, more vendors, more people touching the books—and more places for error, leakage, and fraud to hide. Aegis controllership installs the segregation of duties, approval matrices, and accounting rigor that let you scale without losing control of the financials.

The Problem We Solve

Scaling companies routinely outgrow their financial controls. A single person posts and approves transactions. Inventory and COGS are estimated, not tracked. Revenue recognition drifts from GAAP. These gaps don't just create audit risk—they create real dollar leakage and, in the worst cases, undetected fraud.

The Aegis Approach

Our controller team designs and operates the internal control environment your scale demands: segregation of duties, authorization matrices, inventory accounting, and revenue recognition under ASC 606. We also prepare the clean workpapers your external CPA needs, so audits become routine instead of painful.

What's Included

Key Deliverables & Capabilities

Segregation of Financial Duties & Authorization Matrices

Clear separation of who initiates, approves, and records transactions so no single person controls a process end-to-end—the cornerstone of fraud prevention.

Inventory Accounting & Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) Auditing

Accurate inventory valuation and COGS tracking that exposes shrinkage, margin erosion, and costing errors before they compound.

Pre-Audit Workpaper Preparation for External CPAs

Clean, organized workpapers and schedules that let your external auditor move efficiently—reducing audit fees and the disruption audits cause.

SaaS Revenue Recognition (ASC 606 Compliance)

Defensible, contract-based revenue recognition that complies with ASC 606 so subscription and multi-element arrangements are booked correctly each period.

Vendor Contract Financial Review

Financial review of vendor agreements to catch unfavorable terms, auto-renewals, and pricing leakage before they bind the company.

Internal Fraud Prevention Policies

Documented policies, approval thresholds, and monitoring routines that deter and detect fraud before it becomes material.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Controllership

A bookkeeper records transactions; a controller owns the accounting system—policies, controls, reconciliations, and the integrity of the financials. Aegis layers both so your books are not only kept but kept correctly and defensibly.
