A controller-grade finance team that owns your numbers.
We embed a controller, FP&A lead, or accounting manager full-time in your business to own your month-end close, reporting, and controls. You get the judgment, ownership, and seniority of a local finance hire, at a fraction of the cost.
We don't recruit finance operators. We've been them.
No long lock-in. Every match starts on a trial.
Senior finance judgment is expensive and scarce.
A strong controller runs six figures
The best finance leaders command six figures, and they are hard to find, harder to keep, and slow to hire.
Offshore usually means bookkeeping
Most offshore providers give you junior transaction processing, not ownership of the month-end close, the controls, or the reporting.
You should not overpay for judgment
The senior finance talent you want already exists. It is simply in the wrong place, at the wrong price.
Finance that runs without you.
Freelancers and BPOs sell you task execution by the hour. We place a finance operator who owns the outcome, with the judgment of a senior finance hire.
Finance is all we place
We place finance leaders and nothing else. No assistants, no marketing pool, no junior staff with a senior title.
Built by people who have run finance themselves
The people who built Satinwood Talent trained at Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Goldman Sachs, and Stanford, and have scaled finance functions themselves. We hire for that.
From one seat to a full finance function
Start with the role you need most, a controller or an FP&A lead, and scale to a full outsourced finance function at the same senior standard as you grow.
Embedded like a teammate
Embedded, exclusive, full-time, and fluent in modern finance tools and AI. They own outcomes the way a teammate does.
The seat you need, owned end to end.
Runs the day-to-day function, reconciliations, AP and AR, and the monthly cadence.
Hands-on ownership of the ledger, journals, and clean, investor-ready books.
Not sure which seat you need? We'll help you figure that out on the first call.
A full finance team, for a fraction of one local hire.
Senior ownership of your month-end close, reporting, and controls for a fraction of the cost of building the same capability locally. Most clients save well into six figures annually versus hiring in-house.
We will walk you through the numbers for your market on a call.
The seniority of a local hire, at a fraction of the cost.
The seniority and ownership of a local hire, the speed and cost of offshore, without the usual trade-offs of either.

Representative of our current bench. We hand-select the match for your business.
What it looks like when finance just runs.
I stopped doing the books and started running the business. The numbers are cleaner than they have ever been.
Finance ran on the founder. Month-end, retailer deductions and chargebacks, GL coding, and investor reporting all landed on one person. It did not scale, and the numbers were always a step behind.
Flourish embedded a Satinwood Talent controller and a senior accountant. They took ownership of the close, reconciliations, retailer settlements, and the monthly reporting pack, running it inside the company's own tools.
A finance function that runs without the founder, with cleaner books and faster reporting, fora fraction of a local hire.
We build finance teams like this for CPG and consumer brands→
Our controller owns the close end to end. I stopped checking the numbers months ago. That is the highest compliment I can give.
We were paying a US firm three times as much for less ownership. The judgment we get now is what we were missing.
From first call to embedded, in weeks.
Discovery
We learn your close, your stack, your reporting cadence, and the seat you actually need filled.
Match
We hand-select a senior operator for your business. A considered match, not a stack of resumes.
Embed
A structured 90-day onboarding into your tools, your team, and your monthly rhythm.
Grow
Scale from one seat to a full finance function, at the same standard, as you grow.
Why the standard is different.
Sri Lanka has a deep, internationally trained finance profession, the same people the global firms recruit. We do not just place them. We hold them to a finance-only standard, train them on the tools your business runs on, and give them real ownership.
Crafted in Ceylon is not a tagline. It is where the standard comes from.
Run by people who own finance functions, so we hire for judgment and ownership, not keywords on a resume.
One vetting standard, built for finance. No generalist pool to dilute it.
Fluent in QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, and the AI tools that now run alongside them.
Real career paths mean our people stay, so your finance function has memory.
Built for how finance teams actually work.
Real working hours that overlap your day, agreed up front, so the close never waits.
Secure devices, NDAs, access controls, and clear handling standards for financial data.
Start on a trial. If it is not the right fit, we replace the match. The risk is ours.
Rolling engagement, scale up or down. No multi-year lock-in to get started.
Your operator works your hours.
We staff to a [4–6]-hour daily overlap with North American business hours, so the close, the reporting, and ad-hoc requests happen inside your working day — not overnight.
You're never reliant on one person alone.
Every operator is backed by our bench and a documented handover, and if the fit isn't right we replace them within [X] days — with no gap in your close.
The things finance leaders ask first.
