A controller is high-level accounting position in a firm or company. They often report directly to the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) and are responsible for budgets, audits, and financial reports, as well as ensuring the company complies with all tax codes and regulations.
| Aspect | Controller | Bookkeeper |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or related field; CPA or CMA certifications are common | Usually requires a high school diploma or associate degree; certifications are less common |
| Work Environment | Works in corporate finance departments, overseeing accounting teams | Works in small businesses or accounting firms, handling day-to-day transaction recording |
| Responsibilities | Financial reporting, budgeting, internal controls, and strategic financial planning | Recording financial transactions, maintaining ledgers, and reconciling accounts |
The Controller and Bookkeeper roles differ mainly in scope and seniority. Controllers oversee financial strategies and reporting, requiring advanced credentials and experience. Bookkeepers focus on recording daily transactions and maintaining accurate records. While both are essential for financial management, Controllers have broader responsibilities and higher qualifications, often managing teams and ensuring compliance.
We are looking for an experienced Controller to join a team in the North Shore on a consulting basis. This role is well suited for a detail-oriented manager level accounting professional who brings strong technical accounting knowledge and can provide day-to-day leadership to an accounting team. The position will oversee core close activities, support accurate financial reporting, and help strengthen operational and financial controls within a dynamic environment.
Responsibilities:
• Lead, mentor, and support accounting staff by setting expectations, providing coaching, and encouraging strong team performance.
• Oversee general ledger activity and direct the month-end close process to ensure timely and accurate completion.
• Prepare and review monthly reporting packages, including financial statements and related analyses for leadership review.
• Evaluate product pricing and inventory costing to help maintain accuracy and support sound financial decision-making.
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows, strengthen internal controls, and implement more efficient accounting practices across the team.
• Communicate financial information clearly and effectively with internal leaders and other key business partners.
• Maintain customer master records and ensure associated data remains accurate, complete, and up to date.
• Perform additional accounting and finance duties as needed to support business and departmental objectives.
• Demonstrated background in accounting leadership with the ability to guide and develop staff-level employees.
