Fractional Controller
"An accomplished Fractional Controller seamlessly fills the gap between the limitations in accounting capabilities of a bookkeeper and the strategic leadership of a CFO. While these roles are within the same CFO suite, the skill sets that set them apart are quite different." -John Frank, CEO of Third Road Management
The Third Road Management Advantage
The Mid-Sized Organization Controller Hiring Trap
- Organization recognizes that its bookkeeper has been stretched beyond his/her accounting abilities.
- Conducts a search to find a full-time controller.
- Realizes that accomplished controller candidates are difficult to attract.
- Organization hires an average controller.
- Missed expectations lead to continued issues and high turnover costs.
