"Before I began this business," says Susan Culbertson, CPA, owner, "I found it difficult to find highly skilled, executive-level temporary assistance. With that knowledge, I realized that I could best offer my 20 years of administrative and accounting experience as a service to other companies."

company without the usual learning curve. Vacancies stemming from extended illness, maternity leave, terminations, and resignations are covered seamlessly. Customers and owners feel no impact when Controllers, Etc. is used to cover a professional staffing disruption. As a bonus, you receive more than temporary services - you receive the insight of a professional troubleshooter. "One of my clients had hired me to assist with manager level duties. In compiling reports, I discovered a difference in some descriptions. After my preliminary research and notification to upper management, we discovered that the client was due $1.2 million! Sometimes, all it takes is a fresh look at a situation to spot an opportunity," Culbertson says.
During Special Projects
Allowing you to maintain
focus on the core business.

Although Controllers, Etc. has covered positions from staff level to CEO, our focus tends to fall within the accounting department, handling CFO, controller, and management functions. An existing CFO will find Controllers, Etc. represents an extra pair of capable hands to assist with a transition or with a temporarily heavy workload. Budget and audit preparation or other financial projects can be outsourced to a Controllers, Etc. professional, allowing you to maintain focus on the core business.
During Professional Staffing Transitions
Turnover and its
resulting costs are
greatly reduced.

In times of termination or resignation, a Controllers, Etc. professional will seamlessly handle the accounting department, establish procedures and training manuals, assist management in the hiring process, and train the incoming executive. "Gone are the days when a new hire walks into a position that has been vacant eight weeks, desk piled high, with no instruction manual in sight!," says Culbertson. "A well-transitioned employee is productive from the start, and the chance for turnover and its resulting costs are greatly reduced."
During Unclear Financial Transitions
Client is on solid
footing and is thriving!

Some of the most intense jobs for Controllers, Etc. involve what Culbertson describes as "cleaning up behind the employee you thought was doing a good job." A career corporate accountant with a later focus on fraud prevention and forensic accounting, Susan Culbertson has guided clients through many stormy situations. "One client, a branch of a larger organization, called me following the sudden departure of their CFO," she says. "We discovered that he had done no work for the entire two years he had worked there! It appeared that he had been unable to learn their accounting software and had resorted to fabricating the financial statements. The parent company was incensed, allowing only five months to get everything back on track or they would close the division. We were able to produce two years worth of work, clear two audits, and bring the current year’s work up to date before the deadline. Thirty-five employees were able to keep their jobs. Today, that client is on a solid footing and is thriving!"
