At Marshall Van Zandt Virtual Controller & Accounting Solutions, we provide full-service financial management designed to bring accuracy, structure, and insight to your business.

We specialize in helping small businesses, nonprofits, real estate firms, gas stations, and medical practices gain a complete understanding of their financial position through organized systems and transparent reporting.
Our services include full-cycle bookkeeping and reconciliations, financial statement preparation, and fractional controller support—all tailored to the size and goals of your organization. We also offer system implementation, cleanup, and process improvement, ensuring your accounting tools work efficiently and accurately. Whether you need to get your books in order, improve your financial processes, or gain strategic oversight without the cost of a full-time hire, Marshall Van Zandt delivers personalized, professional solutions that help you operate with clarity and confidence.
Full-Cycle Bookkeeping, Reconciliations, & Financial Statement Preparation
Accurate and organized books are the foundation of every strong business decision. Through full-cycle bookkeeping, Marshall Van Zandt ensures that every transaction—from vendor payments to customer receipts—is recorded correctly, categorized appropriately, and reconciled monthly for accuracy. Melissa and her team manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll entries, and bank reconciliations while maintaining clean, audit-ready records that align with GAAP standards.
By combining professional oversight with cloud-based accounting systems like QuickBooks Online, clients gain real-time visibility into their financial health. This proactive approach minimizes surprises, reduces errors, and provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing your books are always up to date and reliable.
Fractional Controller & Financial Management Services
For growing businesses that need more than bookkeeping but aren’t ready for a full-time controller, fractional controller services provide strategic financial leadership on a flexible, scalable basis. Melissa brings over a decade of controller-level experience managing multimillion-dollar operations and tailors those same principles to your organization’s unique needs.
These services go beyond the numbers—delivering meaningful financial analysis, cash flow forecasting, and performance reporting that guide smarter decision-making. Melissa also assists in preparing budgets, setting up management dashboards, conducting variance analyses, and ensuring month-end closes run smoothly. Clients benefit from a clear understanding of profitability, trends, and long-term sustainability—all without the overhead of an in-house finance department.
System Implementation, Cleanup & Process Improvement Services
When accounting systems are disorganized or outdated, even the best financial strategy can falter. Marshall Van Zandt specializes in evaluating existing workflows, cleaning up past records, and implementing tools that create efficiency and transparency. Whether transitioning to QuickBooks Online, optimizing Buildium for property management, or introducing new technology integrations, Melissa designs systems that work smarter—not harder.
This service often includes detailed chart-of-accounts restructuring, historical data cleanup, and the setup of standardized processes for billing, expense tracking, and reporting. The result is a more consistent, automated, and accurate accounting environment that saves time and reduces costly mistakes. By aligning modern tools with solid accounting principles, Melissa helps business owners focus less on catching up and more on growing forward.
