I've got this money sitting here.
I'm a little bit farther down the growth path in terms of my business, the way I'm running it.
Now it's time for me to think about how I need somebody to partner with me, to be my eyes and ears on everything financial.
They've got very formal training on accounting and or finance, and they're able to look at our business in the way that I look at it as the owner and give me feedback on how I can do the business better.
What do I need to set aside right now for something that might be coming down the pike?
How can I make great investment decisions on maybe this next piece of equipment I'm going to buy or a business that I'm going to want to buy?
Or do I need to take the money out and put it in an investment account somewhere and let it earn interest?
They help you navigate all those kind of investing things.
So it goes from keeping the books to financial statements to investing.
That's the progression that I see.
A controller to me is someone who is just a very, very experienced staff accountant, someone who's understood how to put the controls in place and understood how to manage that over time and to manage a staff of people doing this work.
That's the way I see a controller.
A controller to me is not a strategy person.
It's not an investing person.
It's someone who's more of a
a super accountant, if you will, that again, they make sure all the bills are paid, make sure all the people are paid, make sure that everything's recorded, and that enables them to, they can also do the financial reports and stuff like that as well, but it's not somebody that's doing strategy.
It's not somebody that you're looking to to partner with you.
They're more of a more experienced staff accountant.
Yeah, some of the things that come to mind are you only let certain levels of the company have a debit card that has access to your bank account.
Typically, that's just going to be probably the owner, maybe the CFO, maybe your top operations person.
