Bookkeeping and Accounting Support for Public Companies
What makes us different?
Public companies operate under a different standard than private businesses. The SEC reporting calendar is unforgiving, external auditors apply PCAOB standards that require extensive documentation, and the consequence of a material error — a restatement, a late filing, or an audit finding — is significant. The bookkeeping function that supports all of this needs to be organized, technically rigorous, and consistently reliable.
Corviniti provides bookkeeping and accounting services to public companies that need a senior-led finance function capable of meeting public company standards. We maintain the general ledger, execute the monthly close, prepare the financial statements, and ensure the records are organized and documented to support the external audit and SEC reporting process.
We work with smaller reporting companies and newly public companies that have lean internal finance teams, as well as established public companies that need additional capacity or coverage during a leadership transition. In every case, our focus is on accurate, timely financial records that support the full scope of public company reporting obligations.
We help with:
- Monthly and Quarterly Close: Execute a complete, disciplined close process on the timeline required by your SEC reporting calendar — 10-Q and 10-K filings do not wait.
- General Ledger Maintenance: Maintain a complete, accurate, and audit-ready general ledger with consistent account coding and clean supporting documentation for every entry.
- Financial Statement Preparation: Prepare GAAP-compliant income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements in the format required for SEC periodic reports.
- PCAOB Audit Support: Build and maintain the workpapers, reconciliations, and supporting schedules your PCAOB-registered auditors need to complete their procedures efficiently.
- Multi-Entity Consolidations: Manage intercompany transactions, elimination entries, and consolidated financial statement preparation for companies with multiple legal entities.
- Technical Accounting Compliance: Apply US GAAP standards consistently — revenue recognition, lease accounting, stock-based compensation — to ensure financial statements reflect correct treatment.
- SOX Control Support: Maintain the books and records in a manner consistent with the internal control framework required for SOX 404 compliance.
- Management Reporting: Prepare monthly management reporting packages, variance analysis, and KPI summaries for management and audit committee review.

Frequently Asked Questions
Public companies operate under significantly more demanding financial reporting requirements. The general ledger must support quarterly SEC filings (Form 10-Q) and an annual report (Form 10-K), each of which must be reviewed or audited by a PCAOB-registered firm. Internal controls over financial reporting must be maintained and assessed under SOX Section 404. Disclosures must comply with SEC Regulation S-X and S-K. The standard of documentation, consistency, and accuracy required is substantially higher than for most private companies.
Yes. We prepare and maintain the workpapers, reconciliations, and supporting schedules your PCAOB auditors need throughout the year — not just at year-end. Having well-organized, audit-ready documentation consistently reduces the time and cost of the external audit and minimizes the back-and-forth that drives up fees.
Yes. We manage intercompany transactions, elimination entries, and consolidated financial statement preparation for public companies with multiple subsidiaries or operating entities. We ensure the consolidation is complete and accurate before the audit begins.
We maintain the general ledger and supporting documentation in a manner consistent with the company’s internal control framework. This includes ensuring journal entries have appropriate documentation and approval, reconciliations are completed on schedule, and the close process follows the documented procedures your external auditors will test under SOX 404.
Yes. Transitioning from a private company bookkeeping approach to public company standards is one of the most common situations we support. We assess the current state of your financial records, identify gaps, and implement the close processes, documentation standards, and reconciliation framework your public company obligations require.
Yes. Many public company engagements involve a co-sourcing arrangement — your internal team handles specific functions while we provide additional technical capacity, manage the close process, or support specific workstreams like the audit or SEC filing preparation.
Yes. We regularly work with foreign private issuers and companies with cross-border structures, including IFRS reporting, US GAAP reconciliations, and multi-entity consolidations for companies with domestic and international subsidiaries.
