As your business grows, you may struggle with when to add key staff, and the accounting function is especially tricky. Often a small to mid-sized business is served well by one combined CFO-Controller function, but as the business becomes more complex, you may begin to see a need for the higher-level perspective provided by CFO job responsibilities. Even recognizing this need, it can still be difficult to determine if it’s time to add the position to your team, and whether your need is part or full time.
