Ignite Spot

Outsourced accounting, controller and CFO support for US companies

Ignite Spot is an outsourced accounting firm serving businesses across the United States, from start-ups to established companies. It supplies bookkeeping, controller services and fractional CFO support, and says a dedicated accountant is backed by a full US-based finance team.

A personal approach rather than a fixed playbook

The firm contrasts itself with outsourced accountants that push every customer into a pre-defined routine. It says it first takes a 360 degree view of a company, then works with the owner and staff to find the financial approach and opportunities that fit. The accounting experts running each account are described as specializing in particular industries.

Bookkeeping and month-end reporting

The practical core is keeping the books accurate. Virtual bookkeepers handle data entry, invoice processing and bill payments, and the firm produces and analyses month-end financial statements and reconciliations so owners have timely numbers. It describes its team as QuickBooks experts and says it can take a business beyond doing its own books in the software.

Controller services

For companies that need more oversight, controller services provide strategic financial oversight and accountability, with the controller acting as a partner in carrying out the company's financial plan.

Fractional CFO

An outsourced CFO builds a growth strategy. The firm says this can help a business expand its workforce, grow, or even prepare for acquisition.

Flexible, external and protective

Because the work is contract or part-time, the firm says clients pay for expertise only when they need it, and that temporary financial staff can fill gaps while a business looks for a permanent hire. It also argues that working from outside the company avoids bias and keeps sensitive financial information out of employees' hands, adding a layer of protection against risk.
