Financial Controller Services

At some point, a small business may face the decision of whether to hire a Controller or a Financial Controller. The timing of this will vary widely among businesses. It depends on the size, projected future growth, current staffing, and organization of the firm’s accounting function. 

Hiring a Controller will also depend on what the business owner or management expects from this position. For example, can they afford to pay for that position? Financial Controllers often take on similar responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer. 

What Is a Financial Controller?

A full-time Controller can expect to command close to or in excess of a six-figure income, not including benefits and payroll taxes. Obviously, the more duties expected of the Controller, the more a firm will have to pay. Chief Financial Officers are even more expensive.
