Finance Director Jobs
Attributes of a Finance Director
The old image of the Finance Director being simply the chief bean-counter in an organisation no longer applies. Today there is far more emphasis on the Finance Director as a strategic player, advising the board on how to drive growth, explore new opportunities and make resources deliver the very best results. So to reach Finance Director level, communication and relationship management skills are required, alongside solid accountancy qualifications and experience of managing a finance team and overseeing the financial health of the company.
Key Responsibilities of a Finance Director
Day to day, the Finance Director will be responsible for preparing and controlling budgets, overseeing credit control and banking, and supplying commercial support and business information to different units across an organisation. In these top jobs, its essential to have proven experience of driving a finance department forward, managing change and improving cost controls. A successful Finance Director is likely to have a sharp commercial brain, and spend time identifying new opportunities and seeking out new ways to support growth.
Inside the Job
The finance director is a key member of a board of directors and salaries in large corporations frequently exceed the £100k mark due to the complex nature of the Finance Director role. A principal duty is to ensure that the financial strategies support the broader corporate aims of the business, although this itself often spells conflict.
Finance Directors play a pivotal role in reporting to shareholders, communicating with the City if the company is Stock Market listed, and working with third party accountants compiling Annual Reports and profit and loss accounts. The Finance Director will be heavily involved in Merger and Acquisition and company re-structuring activities.
