Who we are
Jesse Dorn, CPA — Founder
15 years in finance and accounting. 10 of those as an outsourced accounting specialist. Licensed CPA for 12 years. He’s worked with businesses from a few hundred thousand in revenue up to $20 million-plus, across IT services, law, healthcare, nonprofits, real estate, and restaurants. Before accounting, he spent years in community work and hospitality management, which is why he actually picks up the phone and listens before talking numbers.
Dave — Senior Consultant
Former small business owner. After selling his company, Dave wanted to help other owners work through the same challenges he faced. He now specializes in finance and business management consulting.
Amanda — Senior Accountant
Nearly ten years of experience in accounting and financial services. Strong proficiency in QuickBooks Online, financial reporting, and compliance and regulatory filings.
Avah — Staff Bookkeeper
The newest addition to our team, focused on accounts payable and receivable, cash management, and banking.
What we fix
Fractional Bookkeeping
You need someone on your books, but not 40 hours a week. We handle the day to day on a part-time basis. AP, AR, reconciliations, payroll support. You stay on top of your numbers without hiring a full-time bookkeeper.
Fractional Controller
Your business got more complex but your accounting didn’t keep up. We step in at the controller level: financial reporting, internal controls, month-end close. The kind of oversight that keeps growing companies from flying blind.
Budget & Cash Management
Do you know where your cash is right now? Most of our clients didn’t when they called us. We build budgets and cash flow forecasts that actually get used, so you’re making decisions on real numbers instead of gut feelings.
Process Automation
If your team is still entering the same data in three places, we’ll fix that. We find the repetitive stuff in your financial workflows and automate it. Fewer hours wasted, fewer mistakes.
Systems & Software
We’re QuickBooks Online specialists. If your QBO setup is a mess, misconfigured, or you’re just not getting what you need out of it, we’ll clean it up and get it working the way it should. We also work with NetSuite and other platforms when the situation calls for it.
AI In Action
This is how we’re different. We use AI tools to do in hours what used to take days. Pattern recognition in your transactions, automated categorization, anomaly detection, faster reporting. Not a gimmick. It’s why we deliver better work at a lower cost than traditional firms.
Why we’re different
Most accounting firms want to sell you a retainer. We’d rather figure out what you actually need.
Here’s the situation we see all the time: the books worked fine when things were simpler, but now there’s more going on than one person can handle. You know something’s off — you just don’t think anyone can fix it quickly or affordably.
That’s where we come in. FAST combines CFO-level accounting expertise with AI and automation, so you get the quality of a big firm without the big firm price tag. We fix what’s messy or misconfigured, build the systems to keep it clean, and only charge for what you actually need.
We’re not trying to replace your judgment. We’re trying to give you better information to use it. Whether that’s cleaning up a messy QuickBooks file, building out a reporting structure, or just getting someone competent on your books part-time — we scale to fit.
We work with professional services firms, IT companies, nonprofits, real estate and property management teams, and small-to-medium businesses across the Minneapolis metro. If your accounting isn’t keeping up with your business, we should talk.
Tell us where to start
Starting a conversation costs you nothing. Just tell us what’s going on with your books and we’ll give you an honest take on what it would take to fix it. No pitch, no pressure. Most people are surprised how quickly we can turn things around.
