Big positive. I don't see the need for a controller without business transactions to track.

Corporate Controllers

So what is the Controller position? The Controller is more than just a bean counter or a number cruncher; the controller is the analyzer, interpreter and disseminator of financial information to all interested parties. Functioning mostly in planning, accounting, and reporting, controllers are often the budgeting lead, company historian, and number translator for non-number people... all at the same time. The Controller position is a big role in every company— which means that it is a position that can not be perfectly customized to fit your liking. There will be occasions when accuracy is sacrificed for timeliness, and "big picture" thinking is considered to be more efficient than detail oriented thinking.
The Controller position is more than just supervising the accounting and financial departments. Controllers must also work with and advise company leaders by providing the financial information needed to develop successful strategies, meaning that the Controller needs to be able to communicate accounting and finance principals to non-accounting professionals. Being responsible for everyone's transactions and bills requires the controller to not only be well read in other departments, but also be able to build relationships in order to effectively communicate with them.
