Controller Virtual Assistants: Operational Finance Support
A controller oversees the financial operations of a business — 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 — internal controls, process improvement, and financial strategy.
What This VA Handles
- Month-end close coordination — managing the close checklist, tracking completion, and resolving issues
- Journal entries — preparing standard and adjusting journal entries for controller review
- Reconciliation oversight — performing reconciliations and flagging items requiring controller judgment
- Internal controls — maintaining control documentation, testing procedures, and tracking remediation items
- Compliance reporting — preparing regulatory filings, tax compliance documents, and audit materials
- Financial analysis — preparing analysis and supporting materials for management decision-making
