A controller is the "head bookkeeper" of organizations.  The are
responsible for assuring that all cash flowing in and out is accounted for
on a daily basis and that people who try to buy things have the proper
authorization and have the budget for it.

QuickBooks is a very basic piece of financial software and depending on your
size and expectations, may be the right product ... or may not.  I was
suggesting that, based on your current needs, someone with greater exposure
to other financial products may assist you in making better and more
efficient business decisions (like, what did that project REALLY cost me).
I would not characterize knowledge of QuickBooks as a desirable asset to a
financial person.
