Virtual Controller

What does a Controller do?

A financial Controller’s primary goal in a company is to maximize profits. Financial Controllers perform data analysis and advise managers on ways to maximize profits, making them responsible for the finances of a company. They create financial reports, investment strategies and long-term financial goals for the business, and they make it easier for everyone to understand in simpler terms the financial state of a business.

The purpose of financial reports like balance sheets and income statements prepared by the Controller is to summarize current business finances and advise on future earnings or expenses. Controllers also take care of preparing reports required by the government which oversee businesses. They usually oversee the accounting, budget and audit areas of a business.

Why hire a Virtual Controller instead of a full-time Controller?

A Controller makes an average of $96,000 per year. In addition, you also have to account for another 15%-20% of their salary for the related payroll taxes, insurance, and benefits.
