An expense and income report with a couple of pie charts may have been enough in the start-up phase, but your business is more complex now. An expert controller will help design a sophisticated reporting package that will give you a clear picture of what's going on in a format that makes sense to all the stakeholders involved.
Early on, your transactions, accounts payable, marketing spend, etc. were manageable by hand. Now things are moving faster and at a higher volume. Manual data entry and accounting tasks are slowing things down and causing errors. A controller will refine and automate many of your internal processes to keep up with your growing business.
An accurate P&L and Balance Sheet are required, but merely being compliant with tax regs isn't going to help you move forward toward your organizational goals. A quality controller will take a deep dive into your numbers to show you not only what is happening, but analyze why it's happening.
You've been adding pieces to your finance function a la carte as you've grown. But your team members all have their own way of doing things and those often don't match up well with the others. A controller can help you iron out the wrinkles, providing team oversight and guidance that will make everyone work more efficiently.
A bunch of made-from-scratch spreadsheets worked fine at first and helped save money. But now you need those spreadsheets to talk to each other and do it quickly. Now, because your systems aren't scalable, you're losing money with those spreadsheets. A controller can help you identify, implement, integrate, and manage a tech stack ahead of your growing needs.
Showing your numbers to other stakeholders is making you nervous because you're not 100% sure they constitute an accurate picture of reality. An experienced controller will set up professional-grade controls and state-of-the-art systems to protect your data integrity and make sure you avoid fraud.
Wondering how a controller-led team might provide value in your industry? Here are a few examples:
Subscription billing becomes quite complex, even in small SaaS firms. A controller-led team makes sure your unit economics are sound before and as you scale, while ensuring your revenue recognition will stand up to investor due diligence.
Controllers for event management companies monitor KPIs that build enterprise value, such as event profitability as well as sponsor, exhibitor and delegate revenue growth and tenure.
Nonprofit organizations often need guidance to become better stewards of the donations they receive. Controllers enable accountability at every level of the organization and ultimately help the nonprofit achieve their mission
Professional services companies leverage controllers to understand and maximize profitability by customer and service. They may also perform labor analysis and help eliminate wasted expenses.
