Our Founder
Controller Academy was created by Bill Hanna, CPA, a seasoned financial controller with nearly two decades of experience in accounting and finance leadership. Over his career, Bill has worked across industries, leading accounting teams, running month-end closes, overseeing financial reporting, forecasting, FP&A, and driving operational excellence. His hands-on approach is built on the lessons he’s learned in real controller roles—not theory pulled from a textbook.
