Controller & Accounting Services for Northwood Businesses
Controller-level accounting and financial advisory for Northwood businesses. Executive oversight for galleries, retailers, and established companies in the arts district.
Controller Services for Northwood
Northwood has grown from an overlooked stretch of West Palm Beach into a destination. Galleries, antique dealers, boutiques, and restaurants have built something real in this district. The businesses that made that happen have financial needs that match their ambitions.
We provide controller services from Boca Raton for Northwood businesses that have moved past the startup phase. If you have someone handling your books but need executive-level financial oversight, we fill that gap. Monthly review, adjusting entries, reconciliation verification, and financial statements that reflect reality.

Northwood Businesses We Work With
The arts district attracts a certain type of business owner. Independent, creative, and focused on building something with lasting value. That mindset creates great businesses, but it doesn’t always translate to enthusiasm for financial management.
We work with Northwood businesses that have reached the point where financial decisions carry real weight. Inventory investments, lease negotiations, expansion plans. When the numbers matter, you need someone making sure they’re right.
Galleries and Art Dealers
Galleries and Art Dealers
Inventory valuation, consignment accounting, and cash flow management for businesses dealing in unique, high-value items. We understand the timing challenges when a single sale can change your quarter.
Retail and Boutiques
Retail and Boutiques
Retail businesses in Northwood carry inventory, manage seasonal fluctuations, and compete with online alternatives. We provide the financial clarity needed to make smart purchasing and pricing decisions.
Restaurants and Hospitality
Restaurants and Hospitality
Tight margins, high volume, and constant cash flow pressure. We help restaurant owners understand their true costs, track profitability by menu category, and plan for the slow months.
Professional Services

Designers, consultants, and professional firms operating in the district. Clean financials, profitability tracking by client or project, and the financial foundation needed to grow without chaos.
Common Questions
Do you work with small businesses in Northwood?
Yes, but we focus on established businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping. If you have internal staff handling day-to-day transactions and need controller-level oversight, we're a good fit. If you're just starting out and need someone to categorize expenses, we're probably not the right match yet.
What's the difference between bookkeeping and controller services?
Bookkeeping handles daily transactions. Controller services provide financial oversight, review, and strategic guidance. We review what your bookkeeper does, make adjustments for accruals and prepaids, ensure accuracy, and deliver financial statements you can trust for decision-making.
How much do controller services cost?
Controller Essentials starts at $3,200 per month. The investment reflects executive-level financial oversight, not transactional bookkeeping. We work with businesses that need real financial leadership and are ready to invest in it.
Can you meet in person?
Yes. We're based in Boca Raton, about 25 miles south of Northwood. We can meet at your location or ours. Most ongoing work happens remotely, but face-to-face meetings are part of how we build relationships with clients.
Do you prepare tax returns?
Yes, for existing accounting services clients. Business tax returns start at $1,500. We also handle tax planning throughout the year so there are no surprises when filing season arrives.
