Last week, I spoke to a Finance Professional whose CFO gave him career changing advice. Here’s what happened… During one of his first jobs as Controller he voiced concerns to the CFO. He was frustrated that things weren't running smoothly in Accounting. And it was making it harder for him to do his job. What the CFO said next changed his perspective forever… "You're not in the business of Accounting. You're in the business of selling golf clubs! Running your function isn't about you making it your own best thing. It's about running that function to support the organization." Here's what this advice taught him: Instead fixating on how he could improve his stand-alone function He started thinking about how he could make the company more successful. > He began  thinking of solutions instead of problems  > He began thinking about how he could assist other departments  > He started thinking outside the box to innovate and try different things He carries this advice with him today (years later) And it's been one of the most valuable mindsets that he’s brought into his new roles. Great reminder for all finance professionals It's not about you and making your function perfect. It's about the company!

As a CFO or Finance Director, you can't be an expert in everything, and contrary to popular belief, nobody expects you to be! The key, however, is hiring great people around you who complement your skill sets which enables you to focus on making the greatest impact. The worst-case scenario for everyone is when you have a highly talented commercial CFO spending their time on accounting - in that scenario, you end up with an overpaid, and let's be honest, average technical accountant.

The role of a Financial Director (FD) is crucial for any organisation's financial health and strategic direction. But what about situations where the business is not ready for the commitment to a permanent senior financial leader? Our recent blog on why an interim financial director could be your next step may show you a way to bridge the gap. https://lnkd.in/dkSBG7qT #interim #financedirector #bookkeeping #accountancy #fractional
