Hiring a full-time Controller typically costs $120,000–$180,000 per year in salary alone. Once you factor in payroll taxes, health insurance, retirement contributions, paid time off, bonuses, and other benefits, the total annual cost can easily exceed $150,000–$225,000. A Fractional Controller gives you the same level of financial expertise for a fraction of that cost. You receive the financial leadership you need—whether it's a few hours a week or several days a month—without paying for downtime, employee benefits, payroll taxes, or long-term employment commitments. By partnering with Brady Fractional Controllers, you gain experienced financial oversight, timely reporting, improved cash flow management, stronger internal controls, and strategic guidance while often saving tens of thousands of dollars each year compared to hiring a full-time Controller. It's a smart, flexible solution that allows you to invest your resources where they'll have the greatest impact—growing your business.
