The Small Business Controller

59/100
👎 Skip It
Hanson's got the real credentials — CPA, fraud examiner, thirty years consulting with small businesses — and he's writing about a genuinely underserved role. It's just a niche, technical read best suited to someone actually stepping into a controller job, not a general small-business owner looking for broad guidance.
