For small businesses, the decision to hire a CFO (Chief Financial Officer) or a Controller depends on the level of financial complexity and the specific needs of the organization:

Controller vs. CFO:

A Controller is responsible for the accounting and financial reporting functions, providing detailed financial analysis and insights.

A CFO takes a more strategic role, focusing on financial planning, cash flow management, securing financing, and aligning the company's financial strategy with its overall business objectives.

Knowing your business requirements will help in making a wiser decision on which role is needed at your organization.
