A financial controller plays a vital role in a company's finances, overseeing everything from accounting operations to financial reporting and regulatory compliance. In addition to managing the finance team and strategies, they are also responsible for guiding the company through financial challenges and identifying growth opportunities. Having the right person in this role is crucial, which means hiring should be targeted to find a candidate with industry knowledge, analytical prowess, leadership skills, and strategic insight. Besides skill sets, important aspects to consider during the hiring process include clear communication of the role and its expectations, checking industry experience, analytical and leadership skills, strategic thinking, adaptability and conducting thorough reference checks. Furthermore, a financial controller should be flexible, able to adjust strategies in response to rapidly changing business conditions and recent developments in financial technologies. #BusinessFinance #FinancialController #RecruitmentTips [https://lnkd.in/gWS6in8z)
