We understand that modern finance leaders must bring a deep understanding of the business, not just finance, in order to serve as trusted advisors to the Board and management.

Financial Controllers
Financial Controllers are responsible for ensuring compliance with all reporting obligations, often providing insight into the performance of the business and working with stakeholders to instill a culture of accountability through the transparency of business metrics.

Finance Transformation
Sometimes falling within the remit of the Financial Controller, the Finance Transformation Lead is becoming central to driving efficiency within the function whilst ensuring strong governance framework is maintained. The role is often charged with driving efficiency within financial systems, processes and infrastructure, often leading shared services.

Audit, Assurance and Risk
Understanding, managing and mitigating risk is a critical part of leading a finance organisation and the audit and risk functions also present an opportunity to provide support to operating businesses, host of levels, helping drive efficiency and troubleshooting as necessary.

Treasury & Tax
The Treasurer plays a critical role in managing risk and the enablement of strategy. Treasury and tax are inextricably linked. Tax strategy must now stand scrutiny from the media, as well as tax authorities.

Investor Relations
The investor relations team plays a central role in creating and maintaining shareholder value through a proactive investor relations effort increasingly spanning both short and longer-term investors. This should be a critical appointment for any CFO.

Corporate Development and M&A
Companies often need to have a clear non-organic development strategy to prevent themselves becoming a target. The role is central to defining group strategy and executing acquisition opportunities while working closely with the most senior leadership within a company.

Finance Director
FDs and other senior business partners, play a central role in supporting operational leaders, driving value and improving performance within the trading environment. In these roles, exceptional stakeholder management beyond the finance function is a critical factor.

Financial Planning & Analysis [FP&A]
This is an increasingly common role charged with ensuring a company delivers in line with its expectations, aligning internal and external aspirations around performance, serving as the main conduit between a group centre / external stakeholders and internal leadership teams.
