CFOs often ask me what to look for when hiring for an FP&A role. Having been fortunate enough to work with 100's of FP&A leaders across different companies… Here are some key factors to consider for your next hire: 1. Hire a data analyst rather than a finance analyst → You can teach finance but you can't teach the data mindset. 2. Hire a strategic thinker, not just a budget manager → Numbers follow strategy, not the other way around. 3. Hire a storyteller, not just a spreadsheet expert → Data is useless unless you can tell the story behind it. Prioritize curiosity over credentials. And that's how you build a winning FP&A team.

Building a winning FP&A team goes beyond just finance skills. Here's how to hire for impact and strategic growth.

Last week I shared an absolutely stellar FP&A opportunity. It's working in partnership with an extraordinary Chicago-based entrepreneur. The only requirements: Attitude, ability, experience as an FP&A Manager at a minimum, and a track record of being a superstar. Nothing related to education. Nothing related to certifications. Nothing related to the name of a former employer. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Education and skills matter. But... Nothing matters more than ability, experience, and the talent to achieve.
