What is a fractional controller and how is it different from a bookkeeper?
A bookkeeper records and categorizes your financial transactions. A fractional controller takes that data and uses it to help you plan, budget, and make smarter business decisions. If your Lititz trades business is growing past $1 million in revenue and you need more strategic financial guidance, a fractional controller is the next step. The AICPA has helpful resources on the difference between accounting roles if you'd like to learn more.
