Controller vs. CFO: What Every Construction Business Owner Needs to Know

What’s the difference between a controller and a CFO, and which one does your construction business actually need? In this solo episode, Mason Brady breaks down the controller vs. CFO debate in plain terms for construction business owners. He covers what a controller actually does (and what they shouldn’t be doing), how senior controllers can begin taking on CFO-level duties, and why the difference matters when you’re scaling a construction company with multiple entities, bonding requirements, and complex tax liabilities.
