Role overview

What does a Financial Controller do?

As companies scale, they need financial leadership—not just bookkeeping. Marco's Financial Controllers oversee your entire finance function: managing the month-end close, ensuring GAAP compliance, building internal controls, and delivering the financial reporting that boards and investors demand. They bring the operational finance leadership that keeps growing companies audit-ready and financially disciplined.

What does a remote financial controller do? They manage the month-end and year-end close processes, ensure GAAP/IFRS compliance, build and enforce internal financial controls, oversee accounts payable and receivable teams, prepare financial statements and management reports, coordinate external audits, and manage budgeting and cash flow planning. They work in NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage, and enterprise ERP systems. A remote financial controller costs $2,000–$3,000/month through Marco versus $10,000+/month for a U.S.-based controller.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Financial Controller oversees all accounting operations, ensures regulatory compliance, manages the month-end close process, and provides leadership with accurate financial reporting. They typically work with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Excel, and financial reporting tools, and are responsible for delivering measurable results that directly impact your business goals.
In the U.S., a Financial Controller typically costs $9,500/month. Through Marco, you can hire a Financial Controller from Latin America for $2,800/month, the Philippines for $2,000/month, or South Africa for $2,500/month — saving up to 79% while getting the same quality of work.
A Financial Controller should have strong proficiency in GAAP compliance, financial reporting, audit management, internal controls, team leadership, and ERP systems. CPA certification and experience managing month-end/year-end close processes are strongly preferred. Marco's vetting process tests for these skills plus English fluency, communication ability, and remote work readiness before matching candidates to your team.
