The role of CFO or Finance Director has evolved, from typically ‘behind the scenes’ concerned primarily with protecting bottom lines to a dynamic leader at the forefront of business strategy, increasingly important when budgets are often constrained yet expectations of performance and efficiency are higher.
With the CFO or FD likely the close ‘number 2’ to the CEO, effective Finance leaders are as commercial and dynamic as they are adroit with numbers and bottom lines – the best finance leaders not only communicate financial information to support strategic goals, they use their insight and analysis to shape these business objectives.
We work with finance executives who are commercially-minded, who understand and excel at business performance rather than finance alone. This means that as well as protecting bottom line they will also identify areas for growth and opportunity, and provide the optimal balance of these dependent on the priorities of the business at any given time.
