Part-time Controller

Just because bookkeeping, budgeting and financial analysis aren’t your company’s strengths, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to do these tasks. Wouldn’t it be nice to bring someone into your business to do this work only when you need it?

This is where KJL Accounting, acting as your part time controller, comes in. You arrange to see and have your part time controller, KJL Accounting, perform the tasks you need done, according to when you need work done. Clients generally see their part time controller at least once a month and up to twice a week. There is no long term commitment. The client, you, chooses what is best at that time and can increase or decrease hours as the situation warrants. KJL Accounting can work in half day or full day segments.

1. What Does A Controller Do?

A controller performs many interrelated tasks to ensure that a business runs smoothly and is as profitable as it can be. In a smaller business, the controller could potentially be responsible for all of the following activities:

Accounting / Bookkeeping / Payroll
Office Administration
Human Resources / Personnel
Planning and Budgeting
Project Management
Finance (investment strategies, debt financing/management, etc.)
And More!

KJL Accounting is experienced in all of these areas. As your company’s part time controller, KJL Accounting would give you the freedom to concentrate on your core competencies. We step in and handle the financial and administration duties that you just don’t have the time or the skills to do.

2. Why Does Your Business Need A Part Time Controller?

Most small companies only need a controller 4 to 16 hours per week. Therefore, it is financially unwise and unfeasible to hire a Controller on a full-time basis.

You, the owner, are spending time on financial matters instead of on your core competencies.

Rapid growth has stretched the talents of your current staff (accounting or not) and you can’t afford to hire another full time staff member.

You need timely and accurate financial information.
You are experiencing cash flow problems.
Your inventory losses are out of control and you don’t know why.
Your bank or investors are asking for financial statements and/or financial forecasts.
You need ideas on how to reduce risk or expenditure and how to increase profits.
You want to reduce your audit fees.
You want to improve your accounting efficiency.
You have no human resource policies.
You need someone who will listen but won’t be a “yes man” if they have a better idea.

If you answered to yes to one or more of these statements, you can use the services of a part time controller. KJL Accounting would be pleased to meet with you to discuss how your needs could be met.
