A controller needs to have strong accounting and management skills along with the ability to work closely and effectively with other managers and outside professionals. It’s a unique and extremely valuable skill set, but one that comes with an equally high price tag.

What many small business owners have learned is that it’s far too easy to overpay for someone whose most valuable abilities will only be used a fraction of the time. Instead, it’s much more cost-effective to parcel out specific duties to two or three part-time or outsourced individuals – such as a bookkeeper, an accountant or a controller – who will devote their time only to their core functions and areas of expertise. Why pay the high salary of a controller, for instance, only to have him or her spend time doing the lower-paying work of a bookkeeper?

Those same owners also have learned that adding back office responsibilities to their own or other managers’ or employees’ workloads is inefficient at best and can lead to disaster.

Your company is too valuable to put its future anywhere but in the hands of professionals. But consider the costs associated with full-time experts:

Position	Annual Salary	Taxes and Benefits	Total Cost
Controller	$100,000	$15,000	$115,000
Accountant	60,000	9,000	69,000
Bookkeeper	40,000	6,000	46,000
TOTALS	$200,000	$30,000	$230,000
