Financial Controlling
Owning the month-end close and making sure the numbers are right, every time.
Overview
Controlling is the discipline that keeps a company's books accurate and its financial controls tight — month-end and year-end close, cost accounting, reconciliations, and making sure transactions are recorded correctly and compliantly. It's a role that rewards precision and a deep working knowledge of the ERP system (usually SAP FI/CO) as much as accounting theory.
