Exploring the knowledge and skills in Finance Operations

Started a new role as Group Finance Manager.

“Finance Operations: The Bridge Between Numbers and Strategy” As a finance operations professional, I’ve realized that we are not just ‘number crunchers’—we are strategic partners. Each day, my job goes beyond processing invoices or managing reconciliations. It’s about ensuring the financial data we provide helps decision-makers steer the company in the right direction. Whether it’s working with business teams to understand actual spending or collaborating with leadership on budget forecasts, we bridge the gap between day-to-day transactions and long-term strategy. It’s a role that requires attention to detail, strong communication, and a mindset focused on continuous improvement. And while finance may not always take the spotlight, we’re the ones ensuring that the foundation is strong enough for the business to grow.

Starting a new position as Head of M&A and Corporate Finance at RGE

We have an unprecedented amount of clients seeking #financialcontrollers #financemanagers and #financedirectors to essentially create a finance function from scratch. What is the reason behind this? Well in my humble opinion, and through consultation with a number of advisors: 1) The M&A market remains buoyant. 2) Private equity firms are becoming increasingly active in the Northern Irish market. 3) Ambition and entrepreneurial mindset are at an all time high amongst SME business owners. I see a post-Covid acknowledgment of one’s own resilience. Points 1&2 place a burden of compliance and corporate governance on the SME, therefore it stands to reason this would prompt a recruitment surge. Number 3 is of course my own observation, but it ties in well with 1&2. Even if a sale is not in contemplation, everyone is getting their house in order, to be “investable”. Developing robust management information is key to growth. Sounds like a challenge to bring it in house doesn’t it? The person who takes the bull by the horns, so to speak, usually benefits from the upside of the growth 🤔 all I’m saying!

Being a Financial Controller means that you are providing a life saving service to the Head of the Company. You actually provide space and time to the Head of the Company to focus on advancing the Company regarding the operations, the product offering, the marketing position. It does not matter whether it is a solopreneur company or a multinational company, It does not matter whether it is a construction company or a consulting firm, It does not matter whether it is located in Athens, Greece, or New York. Are there differences? Well, of course there are differences, in the kind of services the Financial Controller must offer, the challenges facing and of course the priorities to be set! One thing remains the same: the role of the Financial Controller is to build the fortress that protects the Company, while providing space and time to the Head of the Company in making the decisions that will drive the Company to the next level!
