Role and Importance of Controllers in Organizations

What does a Controller do?  

A Controller is responsible for maintaining the financial health and integrity of an organization by overseeing financial reporting, budgeting, internal controls, compliance, and financial analysis. They play a crucial role in decision-making processes by providing accurate and timely financial information to support the organization’s strategic goals. Not only that, but they also act as internal financial advisors to the organization/business for areas relating to financial control and planning.  

And why does every organization need one? 

Each organization, either small or big, needs to have a system of financial reporting, financial control, planning & compliance in place. This is where the Controller comes into play.  

Controllers are generally expensive to have in place as they are very skilled and experienced professionals, most small and medium business can’t afford them.
