Why Finance Leaders Bring Us In
Controls that hold up
We tighten internal controls and align with your external auditors so issues get fixed before they turn into findings or restatements.
Filings that land on time
We manage quarterly 10-Q and annual 10-K filings so submissions are accurate, timely, and compliant. Late-filing risk drops.
An operator, not an advisor
We do not hand you a report and leave. We step in as a fractional CFO and make sure the compliance work actually gets done.
Calmer close cycles
We compress month-end and quarter-end close into a predictable rhythm, so your team stops scrambling in the final week.
Credibility with your board
Structured board, investor, and audit committee reporting means leadership can present with confidence instead of guessing.
No full-time CFO overhead
You get CFO-level financial discipline part-time, sized to a $5M-$50M public company budget.
What Sarbanes-Oxley Support Looks Like Here
Sarbanes-Oxley pressure usually shows up in three places: internal controls that were never documented, auditors asking questions nobody owns, and a close cycle that leaves no time to review. Brimmer Company works inside your finance function to fix all three.
We serve small public companies with $5M to $50M in revenue and private companies preparing to go public in the next 12 to 24 months. Work is delivered remotely across the United States, by appointment, under a signed engagement agreement that sets scope, terms, responsibilities, and confidentiality.
- Internal controls tightening and external auditor alignment
- PCAOB audit readiness, with issues resolved before they escalate
- Quarterly 10-Q and annual 10-K filing preparation and management
- Filing stabilization when deadlines are slipping or audit pressure is building
- Month-end and quarter-end close cycle optimization
- Audit committee communication and Q&A prep
- Board and investor reporting packages
- Capital raise, underwriter diligence, IPO, and M&A readiness

Frequently asked questions
Do you advise, or do you actually do the work?
We operate. Brimmer Company works as a fractional CFO and compliance operator, running the filings, controls work, and close process rather than handing over recommendations and leaving.
Can you act as our auditor?
No. External audit and attest services are outside our scope. We prepare you for auditors: tightening internal controls, aligning with your external audit team, and resolving issues before they become material findings.
What size companies do you work with?
Small public companies with $5M to $50M in annual revenue, and private companies planning an IPO within 12 to 24 months. We are not a fit for private businesses under $2M in revenue with no public company ambitions.
What does an engagement cost?
Pricing depends on scope. Every engagement runs under a signed agreement that outlines scope of work, compensation terms, responsibilities, and confidentiality. The 20-minute review clarifies what level of support you actually need.
Our filing deadline is already slipping. Can you help?
Yes. Filing stabilization is a targeted service for companies where deadlines are slipping, audit pressure is building, or the current reporting setup cannot keep pace with public company requirements. We assess your specific situation in the review.
Do you work on site?
Services are delivered remotely across the United States, by appointment. We do not serve clients outside the United States.
