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 there is no hard rule for this, as each business is different, what we have found to be the case is that for companies with topline revenue less than $1.5M, it may be difficult to budget for a full-time Controller, and even Fractional Controller, and so the Business Health Check option may be best suited for you.
For businesses with topline revenue greater than $1.5M, you may begin to benefit from Virtual Controller and CFO services (depending on how tied to strategy you want the financial operations to be). Above the $10M mark in topline revenue, many companies find value in having their own in-house finance lead. As your business grows along this trajectory, we can help you by covering your financial leadership needs along the way, including helping you in the hiring and onboarding process should you need to fill that role within your business.
