Hiring a Finance Director or CFO. It can be tempting to focus solely on immediate needs when hiring a new CFO or Finance Director. ? "Can you fix this headache and put out this immediate fire?” ? But, consider this: What is your company's long-term vision, and can your next hire help make it a reality? ? In my experience, the most successful hires occur when businesses have a clear 3-5 year plan and strategically select a CFO or Finance Director who has the ability and stretch to execute that plan. ? Next time you're in the hiring process, pause to ponder beyond the urgent. Seek a CFO or Finance Director who isn't just capable now, but is also capable for later. [email protected]

"?? ???????? ???????? ??’?? ????????????????." That’s what a Financial Controller shared with me last week. The constant deadlines. The endless reports. Managing a team that’s stretched too thin. It was all getting too much. Finance leaders carry a huge weight. And a lot of that weight? It’s the team they lead. One weak link can slow everything down. And when the numbers don’t add up, chaos follows. That’s why building the right team matters. Hiring isn’t just about skills. It’s about resilience. It’s about attitude. I help finance leaders find the people who don’t just fill a role – they lift the burden, they add value! If you’re looking to hire a high calibre finance professional, get in touch with me! Your next hire could make all the difference. #Recruitment #Leadership #Management #Accountancy #Finance #Hiring

?? H1 Finance leadership hiring insights ?? After several quarterly and half year reviews with clients over the last few weeks, it was good to sit down and reflect on senior and sub exec hiring trends over the last 6 months. ?? Volumes have remained high across newly qualified- FM level roles ?? Consistent job flow across Head of Finance and mid level leadership roles ?? Lighter volumes across FD, GFC and C suite-1 roles ?? Businesses look for shorter term solutions to hiring (internal moves and interim support are on the rise to cover shortfall in skill gaps) ?? Larger PLC’s in strong market position. With strong balance sheets, investment and brand awareness- larger leading listed businesses are able to hire top talent across the board ?? Private equity continue to hire aggressively in order to hit targets and timelines for events ?? Hiring is commonly through an introductory basis and roles ‘moulded’ around candidates. Businesses who are open minded to creating roles for top talent gain competitive advantage ?? D&I hiring has had less of a concentrated focus as market conditions are less positive and clients are focused on more short term solutions to fill skill gaps ?? Overall, currently a ‘softer’ hiring market in regional qualified leadership finance roles As we move through Q3 and Q4 in 2024 large signs of positivity in the market place pick up with boosts in market confidence ?? If you are thinking of a change or know anyone that could benefit from a conversation about the market, reach out to me on [email protected] or any of the team for a confidential chat!

This holds true for many other fractional roles as well. (Speaking as a fractional COO.) I appreciate the succinct cost-benefit analysis Brady CFO presents here. Have you worked with a fractional consultant? What was your experience?

In a Financial Services business a Finance Director or CFO isn't just a luxury—it's a key hire. Why?

And with ever-changing regulations, a Finance Director or CFO ensures compliance, avoiding costly penalties and enhancing a company’s reputation. Their expertise in financial analysis and forecasting provides critical insights, enabling data-driven decision-making.

You need a CFO, but the thought of dropping upwards of $30,000 a month on a full-time hire keeps you up at night. You know their financial insights and strategic leadership would transform your company, but you can’t make money appear out of thin air. ?? Here’s the reality of hiring a full-time CFO: The midpoint salary for a full-time CFO in Dallas, TX is $243,600. This doesn’t include incentive bonuses, which could bring that annual total to $304,600. Throw in a health benefits package (medical, dental, vision) plus employer payroll tax (typically 20% of the total cash compensation), and you’re looking at a $365,520 annual investment for a full-time CFO. This is more than $30,000 per month. ?? Here’s the good news: Fractional CFO services cost $3,000-$12,000 per month for a recurring engagement. You’re looking at around a $90,000 annual investment. Sounds way more doable, doesn’t it? This isn’t to say you’ll never need an in-house CFO. But if your company generates <$30 million a year, a Fractional CFO is a cost-effective solution with the same transformative benefits. Want to learn more about this option?

Business growth can feel painful. It takes stretching beyond what is comfortable to break through the plateau and climb the next hill. Sometimes the financial cost of breaking through feels like too much. Take a step back and realize there can be more than one answer and you don't have to bite it all off at once. If finance is holding you back, consider going fractional for a time. You might find it is just what you need to break on through to the other side.

One thing I've learned from speaking with finance leaders is that you can have exceptional technical ability for FP&A, but if you can't develop, long-lasting and strategic relationships, you will fall behind. Having an exceptional business partner means: 1. Cross-function collaboration - Inter-departmental meetings with a purpose 2. Joint planning sessions - Supporting department heads with accurate forecasts 3. Integrated business planning - Aligned business strategy If you need a strategic advisor to take your finance function to the next level, hire a finance business partner. On this topic, I'm working with a Private Equity-backed SaaS business that is looking for a #2 to the CFO to take the lead on strategic initiatives. Alternatively, send me a message if you're thinking of hiring for your finance team. #FPandA #BusinessPartner #Growth
