CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / September 12, 2025 / CoCountant today announced the launch of its controller-led bookkeeping and accounting subscription for startups and growing businesses. Every client is paired with a dedicated controller who owns accuracy, signs the monthly close, and delivers decision-ready numbers without the cost of an in-house team.
"Founders do not need more reports. They need numbers they can trust and fast answers when it counts," said Umair Aziz, Founder & CEO of CoCountant. "Controller-led from day one means we take responsibility for the close, the quality, and the rhythm. You get audit-ready financials you can run the business on."
What's included
Signed monthly close in 10 to 15 days with GAAP-ready P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow
Short variance brief that explains what changed, why, and the action items
Fast response-time targets backed by SLAs, typically 2 to 4 hours during business days (plan dependent)
Ops-Finance coverage beyond bookkeeping, including AP, AR, payroll, 1099s, and sales tax
Add-ons for scale, such as FP&A and a Finance Team Extension for fractional or full-time roles
"Controller oversight turns bookkeeping into a dependable finance function," said Muhammad Saqib, Co-Founder & CFO at CoCountant. "We close on a consistent cadence, reconcile what matters, and keep clean schedules so lenders and CPAs can trust the numbers."
Built for busy operators
CoCountant works inside the tools teams already use, with QuickBooks Online at the core. The company is a QuickBooks ProAdvisor Elite firm. Clients keep ownership of their systems and data. Services are available to U.S. businesses today.

Plans and availability
CoCountant offers three tiers: Launch, Scale, and Command. Each tier increases close speed, Ops-Finance depth, and response-time priority. Engagements run on a 12-month agreement with monthly or annual billing. Add-ons can be enabled as needs grow.
