An interim controller fills critical accounting functions during a period of need. To ensure that customers are billed, vendors are paid, payroll is met and funds are available to keep the business operating without interruption due to a staffing issue.
The Controller/CFO position is critical to the success of any business or organization and leaves of absence, unplanned for departures of staff or other gaps in expertise could cause unnecessary financial vulnerabilities. Services provided help to reduce anxiety of not having a financial professional overseeing necessary business functions.
When departures of financial professionals do occur, these services reduce the urgency of just filling a critical position with a warm body, but instead allows time to choose the right candidate. For leaves of absence, whether for medical leaves or other types of leave, the necessary financial funcitons can continue uninterrupted and reduce potential fincial harm while allowing an easy transition upon the return of the financial professional from their leave of absence.
Services generally will complement current independent CPA relationships.
