What a Virtustant hire handles

What a Remote Controller Handles

Controllers who own the close and the numbers behind it, so your owner or CFO reads accurate statements on a fixed date every month.

  • Books, closed.

    The month closes on a fixed date from a written checklist, instead of whenever the bookkeeper gets to it.

  • Accounts, reconciled.

    Bank, card, payables, receivables and balance sheet accounts are reconciled and reviewed, with differences explained.

  • Entries, reviewed.

    Accruals, deferrals and adjusting entries are booked or reviewed, so revenue and expenses land in the right month.

  • Statements, delivered.

    A P&L, balance sheet and cash flow statement arrive on the same day each month, with a short note on what moved.

  • Budget, tracked.

    Budget-to-actual and cash reports show where you stand against plan, before the quarter is gone.

  • Controls, written.

    Approval steps for bills, payroll and payments are documented, so one person cannot both create and pay a bill.

Month-End Close

A close checklist run on a fixed calendar, with reconciliations, accruals and adjusting entries reviewed and signed off.

Reporting and Controls

Financial statements, budget-to-actual and cash reports delivered on schedule, and approval steps written down so errors are caught early.

How quickly can I hire a Controller through Virtustant?

You get a shortlist of 3 to 5 vetted candidates within 48 hours of your first call, and your hire can start in 72 hours.

What does a LATAM Controller cost?

Controller rates are scoped on the discovery call, based on the size of your books, how many entities you close and the reporting you need each month. For reference, the BLS median wage for financial managers, the group that includes controllers, was $80.08 an hour in May 2025. There are zero recruitment fees, so the all-in hourly rate is your only cost.

What can a remote Controller handle, and which tools do they use?

Month-end close, account reconciliations, accruals and adjusting entries, bookkeeping review, financial statements, budget-to-actual and cash reports, and written approval steps, in tools such as QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Microsoft Excel, and Power BI. Tax returns and audits stay with your CPA firm, and final approval of the numbers stays with you. Tell us your accounting software, your entities and your close deadline on the first call and we match candidates to all three.

What is the replacement guarantee?

Every placement carries a lifetime replacement guarantee with no time cap: if your hire ever leaves, we replace them at no cost. Engagements are month-to-month, and there are zero placement fees.

How does Virtustant pricing work?

One all-in hourly rate covers the professional's pay, payroll and the paperwork. There is no recruitment or placement fee, and engagements are month to month.

Do you work with large or small companies?

Both. Virtustant places professionals with startups, small businesses and enterprise teams across the US, from a single hire to whole teams.

Is a nearshore hire better than offshore?

For most US teams, yes: a nearshore hire from Latin America works your business hours, so you collaborate in real time instead of across a 10- to 12-hour gap.

What if the hire is not the right fit?

Every placement carries a lifetime replacement guarantee: if your hire ever leaves or is not the right fit, we replace them at no cost.
