Controller Advisor

About Level10 CFO Level10 CFO offers a fresh take on outsourced CFO advisory and accounting services. We lead with an advisory-first approach on all client engagements. That could mean assisting a start-up company needing bookkeeping and some help with prospective financials for an investor deck. It could also mean working with a growth middle-market company needing a CFO to help with strategic financial planning and a controller to bring controls and efficiency to its transactional accounting environment. Though we promote the use of EOS® (Entrepreneurial Operating System… ask us later!), we don’t demand it of our clients. Its constructs are woven into how we engage and drive value for our clients. We live these core values:

• Our clients’ interests always come first.
• We brave the crucial conversations.
• We embrace technology.
• We actively challenge the status quo.
• We like to laugh (even at ourselves!).

Summary

The Controller Advisor must present as a self-assured (but not cocky) consultant to the organization who can quickly establish credibility, trust, and rapport, both with leadership and with any staff under direction. The Controller should be dogged in making sure the trains run on time, relentless in driving efficiency through process, and make a Supermax prison warden envious of the control environment. Each day should start with the question, “How can I leave the client better off than I found them?” The Controller Advisor is also expected to contribute to the evolution and growth of Level10 CFO, including but not limited to our process, procedure, technical maturity, and general enjoyment of coming to work each day.
