CFO vs. Controller | What Are The Differences In Terms Of Tasks, Pay & Education [Video]

CFO vs. Controller | What Are The Differences In Terms Of Tasks, Pay & Education

Reaching a CFO position is a great goal to have if you are in Finance. CFO stands for Chief Financial Officer, which means you’ll be sitting with the executive team and making decisions that will impact the entire company.

My role however is a corporate controller, which means that the CFO is my boss and we have different job descriptions.

A friend of mine once told me that he thought a controller is a mini CFO, which was kind of a hilarious thought. But this got me wondering:

Do people really think that a controller is a mini version of a CFO?
What are the differences in the job description between a controller and a CFO?
Is becoming a controller a good stepping stone into getting a role as a CFO?
What is a typical career trajectory that leads to a CFO role?
What is the earning potential for both a controller and a CFO?

How to Account for Early Retirement of Bonds [Video]

This video explains how to account for the early retirement of bonds (aka early extinguishment of debt or early redemption of bonds).When a company retires (redeems) its bonds prior to the maturity date, the company must do several things:-Reduce the cash account by the amount used to repurchase the bonds (if cash is used to retire the bonds)-Remove the bonds payable-Zero out the unamortized discount or unamortized premium-Record a gain or loss IF the repurchase price is different from the carrying value (aka book value) of the bonds on the date the bonds are retiredThere are two ways to calculate the gain or loss on the early retirement of the bonds:(1) record the journal entry; if a debit is required to make the journal entry balance, then debit a loss on early retirement (or loss on bond redemption, loss on early extinguishment of debt, etc.). If a credit is instead required to make the journal entry balance, the credit a gain on early retirement (or gain on bond redemption, gain on early extinguishment of debt, etc.)(2) calculate the difference between the repurchase price (the amount paid to retire the bonds) and carrying value (aka book value) of the bonds at the time they are retired. If the repurchase price is less than the carrying value, there is a gain. If the repurchase price is greater than the carrying value, there is a loss.0:00 Introduction0:39 4 things to do when retiring bonds1:20 Example3:59 T-account for discount on bonds payable4:18 Journal entry to record gain on retirement of bonds5:53 Alternative situation (loss on retirement of bonds)— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
