Financial Controller and Accountant
Two complementary roles with different purposes
How an outsourced financial controller works alongside an accountant and tax adviser without replacing statutory services.
In brief
The accountant and tax adviser focus on records and compliance. The financial controller combines that information with operational data to explain performance, look ahead and support management decisions.
01
What your accountant provides
Depending on the engagement, this commonly includes bookkeeping, statutory accounts, tax filings and payroll services.
02
What financial control adds
Financial control connects historical figures with margins, cash flow, budgets, forecasts and management actions.
- Management profitability
- Cash-flow forecasting
- Variance analysis
- Scenario modelling and decision support
03
A joined-up flow of information
Timely, reliable accounting information remains essential. JVT works with that foundation and adds a different management perspective.
