Why Are Financial Controllers Important?įinancial controllership is a highly technical role practitioners need to be both experts in all matters of accounting and compliance and relatable leaders who makes the entire organization want to follow policies and procedures. ![]() A recent Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) study highlights an associated gap: Financial controllers feel they spend too much of their time on stewardship at the expense of strategy. ![]() More often, controllers derive extreme satisfaction from developing the data that guides strategic decision-making - despite feeling challenged by a lack of resources. A financial controller’s role begins with being “the numbers person” and extends to creating reports and analyses that support strategic business decisions.Ī financial controller’s mindset is geared toward accuracy, stewardship, policy and ethics. To do this, they must understand the operations of the business and the underlying relationships between inputs, outputs and the processes that support them. In the simplest terms, financial controllers are senior managers charged with producing accurate books and records for a company. Staying current on finance technology helps a controller be successful.Most of a controller’s time is spent on traditional duties such as closing the books and regulatory compliance, balanced by supporting company strategy, together with the CFO.As the lead accountant in a company, financial controllers’ education, experience and licensing are concentrated in finance, accounting or economics.Financial controllers are senior managers who oversee a business’s day-to-day financial operations.In large enterprises, financial controllers work with chief financial officers (CFOs), chief accounting officers (CAOs), finance managers and treasurers to control the finance and administration function. In midsize enterprises - where responsibilities are broadest - financial controller duties are likely to include project management, technology, insurance and compliance functions. Controllers in small companies, whether internal or contractors, are mostly involved in detailed accounting tasks that are beyond the skills of the company’s bookkeepers. The role of the financial controller varies with the size of the business. Sometimes called the “company historian,” financial controllers run the accounting function and are responsible for the company’s books and records. What Is a Financial Controller?Ī financial controller is a senior-level manager who oversees a business's day-to-day financial operations.
