Controllers are essential for maintaining the financial integrity of a business by overseeing accounting operations, ensuring compliance with regulations, and managing financial reporting.

What Is a Controller?

A controller is a senior accounting professional responsible for overseeing the financial accounting, reporting, and internal control functions within a company. Controllers ensure that financial statements are accurate, timely, and in compliance with applicable regulations. They also play a strategic role in budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis to support business decisions.
