· Why would you hire a controller and not use your accountant to help you with your business decisions? What is the difference? Working with the company's historical information, an accountant usually prepares the tax returns and sometimes the financial statements. A controller does much more.

· A Controller acts as your business advisor, working with you to plan daily and future operations. By creating a system of internal controls and advising you regarding the organizational structure of the business, a Controller can help protect your company's assets.

· A Controller helps your set realistic goals, prepare budgets and cash flow reports, helping you do real strategic planning instead of seat-of-the-pants functioning. Business people who can look analystically at their operations and develop effective controls are those who have survived the ups and downs of our economy and have eventually prospered.

· A Controller works with your company's personnel in preparing reports, giving you the ability to spend more time doing what you do best. A Controller can direct the day-to-day accounting, including daily cash balances, reviewing outstanding accounts receivable and what invoices "must" be paid, or work with your full-time controller on special projects.

· A Controller helps you save and make money. Utilizing new resources by requesting additional bids on present services very often changing the bottom line to look more positive.
Most people who have a small to medium-sized business attempt to do all of the tasks required in running a business. However, the reality is that they are usually good at one or two specific tasks. They may be best at sales, product development, or marketing. Very few business owners can do what they do best and also do the strategic planning, day-to-day accounting, and review the accounting of current operations.
