What does a day in the life of a controller look like?
It could be a little bit of anything, kind of what we were just talking through. That's what makes it interesting and challenging at the same time.
Early in the month, we might be more heavily focused on month-end close, reviewing financial statements and balance sheet reconciliations. As the month goes on, it might transition more to the financial reporting side of things.
This reporting could be for our investors, internal leadership, or lenders. All of our debt has certain covenants and reporting requirements, so we make sure we're compliant with all of that.
