Should I hire a fractional, part-time CFO, Controller or both?
When building a robust accounting team, you may have questions regarding who to hire and whether to outsource talent instead of hiring internally.
You may need a Controller if you require the supervision of a bookkeeper or your internal accounting team.
By hiring a part-time Controller, you will also ensure accuracy in your financial reporting, assistance in the financial close process, risk mitigation, etc.
A fractional, part-time CFO will help your company if you need additional guidance and supervision of your finance team or if you need a more sophisticated reporting and analysis system, assistance with stakeholder reporting and better report package generation, or assistance with fundraising.
Regardless of what stage your business is in and what your goals are, you can greatly benefit from having a CFO and Controller on your team.
All our clients are assigned a CFO, Controller, Accounting Manager and Staff Accountant to ensure that the accounting work is being done at the appropriate levels. For example, your Controller should not be doing any data entry or bank reconciliations. Those tasks would be done at the Staff Accountant or lower accounting level so the Controller can focus on telling the story of your financials.

If your business has cash flows and is in a crunch, our fractional CFOs will work to lower outflows and increase inflow. Thereby, offering time and resources to sustain the business until it has returned to a health state.
We don't rest until you are satisfied because through an interactive process, you will learn more than ever about your own crypo currency journey and how you can improve your trading strategy.
FAQs
Like our other services, it depends on what you need, but Controllership packages start at $500 per month.
Starting as low as a few hours per month, having your own Controller may be more within reach than you thought.

What is a virtual CFO?
A virtual CFO is a remote CFO who provides your company with high-level CFO services. This is an excellent way for smaller businesses to gain the experience of a high-level CFO without the expense of an in-house CFO with comparable experience.
A CFO is an extremely strategic hire for any size business. It should be viewed as an investment rather than a cost, because the right CFO will always provide a return on investment in the form of higher profit margins and cash flow, faster and more sustainable growth, more effective and efficient operations, improved vendor contracts and relationships, debt and equity funding, strategic relationships, and more.
