Controller Virtual Assistants: Operational Finance Support
A controller oversees the financial operations of a business β financial reporting, internal controls, compliance, and accounting team management. A controller VA provides the operational support that lets your controller focus on oversight and strategy rather than hands-on processing.
Key Data: Controllers spend 65% of their time on transaction processing and report generation rather than analysis and control (IMA 2025). A VA handling the processing work lets your controller focus on the 35% that actually requires their expertise β internal controls, process improvement, and financial strategy.
What This VA Handles
- Month-end close coordination β managing the close checklist, tracking completion, and resolving issues
