WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR JOB?
As an owner of a company or a controller, you know your job is more
than just balancing the books - you have to balance many other responsibilities
as well. You wear many different hats during the day ... analyst ...
manager ... technician ... all requiring separate sets of skills.
Not only do you have to wade through mounds of raw data, financial
reports and cash flow projections to map the trends that will affect
your company's bottom line. You also have to stay on top of constantly
shifting regulations ... with everyone from the IRS to the FASB setting
and changing the rules every time you turn around.
And just giving the other managers in your company the facts and
figures isn't enough - you have to explain those numbers in terms
they can understand. Other managers base their plans on your data,
so not only does it have to be completely dependable, they have to
understand it thoroughly.
And on top of all of this - you still have a company to manage. You
have to set all the policies and procedures for your department's
accounting function, maintain the general ledger and oversee output
to ensure 100% accuracy at all times.
Our job is to provide you with pertinent governing information so
you can make informed decision. You know that learning isn't a passive
process - you've got to get in there ... roll up your sleeves ...
and practice.
