Every hire is important to get right, but some roles are critical, and hiring a Finance Director can absolutely make or break a business. Good Financial Directors sit at the intersection of strategy and operations. They are not just crunching the numbers. They provide the data-driven guidance that shapes key decisions, optimises budgets, and they ensure financial compliance. The right person can provide the insights and leadership to drive your business forward. The wrong hire? That could cost you far more than you realise and we have met clients and who've got it wrong, and know only too well how much that can hurt, or in one case, almost destroy a business, not just financially but in credibility with the banks, funders and external stakeholders. Partnering with a specialist recruiter who truly understands the nuances of finance hiring is so critical. With 30 years of FD experience, market knowledge and a rigorous screening process, my colleague Sean Kelly will ensure you don’t just fill the vacancy. He'll make sure you find the right person to drive your business forward. If your senior finance hire is a priority, we are no win, no fee, you have nothing to lose, other than some time meeting Sean to understand his competencies and capabilities. If you'd like to meet Sean, give us a call on: 01325 313184 and let's get it booked. #FinanceRecruitment #BusinessGrowth #RightHireFirstTime

Last week I posed a question around the benefits of a Financial Systems Analyst gaining experience on different legal finance systems as they consider opportunities in which to progress their career. The resounding feedback was to avoid limiting your options by sticking only to the system you already know. The skills and experience required to progress to a leadership role within finance systems go far beyond your expertise in any specific tech, and gaining experience of a wider range of systems can be hugely beneficial. So – to flip this conversation on its head, how about from the hiring managers perspective? When hiring for an experienced Finance Systems Analyst or “Senior” in your current firm, how high an emphasis do you place on experience of a specific system? Of course, this will be an “it depends” scenario, but are there instances in which you might specifically seek out alternative systems backgrounds, or at least remain completely agnostic? And what other skills/attributes could be higher on the priority list?

Are you comfortable challenging senior stakeholders? It’s a bit of an art form, and takes skill and dexterity to get it right It’s a key skill-set to have as a Finance Business Partner I took a job description last year meeting with a Commercial Director, and he loved being challenged as he said .. ‘It keeps me accountable, helps shape my thinking about our strategy and make the informed decisions for our business’ He called these mini debates ‘creative tension’ Providing insight behind the data, challenging stakeholders, helping them make smart choices, is at the heart of business partnering It’s what makes the job interesting too isn’t it 🤷🏽♂️ Do you agree? #cfo #privateequity #financebusinesspartner #recruitment

Hey LinkedIn, I have over 15 years of financial planning and analysis, and strategic planning experience and have led teams in a variety of industries including aviation/airports, energy and public sector/not for profit. I have a great ability to bridge the strategic and financial worlds, I can translate strategy into a long term financial plan and communicate it clearly to a variety of audiences. I have created robust strategic planning processes linked to financial models, that empower organizations to chart a course towards their goals, assessing the impacts of various scenarios and mitigating risks. For financial modelling, I have developed business cases, cash flow forecasting and complex multi year long term financial models. Does anyone know any FPA or Strategy leaders open for a conversation (even if not hiring)? I'm looking to exchange ideas about financial modeling and linking strategy with the financial model. Maybe talk about opportunities if appropriate (but honestly no pressure!) I bring a lot to the table, including baking! #topcandidate #opportunity #vancouver #edmonton #calgary #vancouverjobs #edmontonjobs #calgaryjobs #torontojobs #albertajobs #bcjobs #connections #careers #opentowork #vancouvernetworking #edmontonnetworking #calgarynetworking #financeopportunities  #strategyopportunties #strategy #fpa #financialplanningandanalysis #jobsearch #careeropportunities
