Focused.Financial

Focused.Financial places vetted remote finance talent - bookkeepers, staff and senior accountants, fractional controllers, and fractional CFOs - with growing businesses and CPA firms across the United States.

We built the firm to sit between the two ways this usually goes wrong. Freelance marketplaces are fast but leave the vetting to you; traditional agencies vet well but move slowly and price in their overhead. Our model is the middle: a pre-vetted bench, matched to your needs in days, working as a committed part of your team on month-to-month terms.

Every candidate clears five gates before a client hears their name: deliberate sourcing, credential verification against primary sources, a role-specific technical assessment with planted errors, a live case interview, and reference checks that ask hard questions. Placements are backstopped by 30-day check-ins, quality reviews, and a replacement guarantee.

For businesses, we staff the full finance ladder: bookkeepers who keep books clean and current ($500-$2,500/month), accountants ($30-$65/hour), fractional controllers who own the month-end close ($2,000-$6,000/month), and fractional CFOs for forecasting, board reporting, and fundraising support ($3,000-$15,000/month). If you are not sure which role you need, we will tell you honestly - including when the answer is the cheaper one.

For accounting firms, we provide production capacity: bookkeepers, client accounting services staff, and tax-season preparers, matched to your software stack (QuickBooks Online, Xero, Lacerte, UltraTax, Drake, ProConnect) and integrated into your review workflow - seasonal surge or year-round dedicated.

We publish our rates at focused.financial/pricing - no sales call required.
