Your North Star

The Financial Controller’s primary objective is to maintain the financial health and integrity of the company through rigorous accounting practices, internal controls, and compliance with relevant standards. In a SaaS context, this means ensuring accurate revenue recognition, managing audits, overseeing tax filings, and delivering reliable financial statements on time. The Controller safeguards the company’s fiscal operations while also building scalable processes as the business grows. Their North Star metrics revolve around accuracy, speed, and control — such as the number of days to close the books, audit readiness (including clean audit reports), and precision in revenue recognition for subscription revenue. By anchoring their work in these metrics, the Controller ensures that financial reporting is trustworthy, audit processes are smooth, and regulatory risks are minimized.
