What's The Difference?
The best way to sum it up is that our Virtual Controller services oversee the accounting operations, financial reporting, and the compliance side of your business, whereas our Virtual CFO services integrate financial operations with your strategic plan, and allow for forecasting and performance management systems to help keep a continuous pulse on the progress toward your strategic objectives.
When do I need a Virtual Controller or CFO?
While every business is unique, we’ve found that for companies with topline revenues between $500k and $5M, Virtual Controller and Virtual CFO services offer an ideal solution. These services provide high-level financial oversight and strategic insights without the need for a full-time, in-house finance team. As your business grows beyond $5M and approaches $10M in revenue, you may begin to see increased value in having a dedicated in-house Controller. However, our Virtual CFO services, with ongoing monthly guidance, can still provide crucial support during this transition.
​
For businesses making this leap, we can also assist with the recruitment and training of a full-time controller, ensuring a smooth handover of responsibilities. Whether you're navigating growth or preparing for your next financial milestone, we're here to provide the financial leadership you need at each stage.
