What is a fractional controller?

A Fractional Controller is an experienced financial professional who oversees a company's accounting and financial operations on a part-time or contract basis. This role is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses that need high-level financial expertise but do not require a full-time controller. Responsibilities typically include financial reporting, budgeting, cash flow management, and ensuring compliance with regulations. By hiring a Fractional Controller, businesses gain strategic financial guidance at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.
