A 21-page practical guide to building and keeping a high-performing finance team
Your ability to operate as a strategic CFO depends largely on your team. Without the right people in the right positions, your attention goes to the wrong places. The close, the audit, the gaps. Not the board, the lenders, or the CEO.
This guide was written for CFOs at for-profit companies who are building or rebuilding their finance teams. It covers what actually matters in this market, from writing a brief that attracts the right candidates to keeping the people you work hard to find.
What is Inside
- The market you are actually hiring in and why the old approach of posting and waiting no longer works
- The Controller, FP&A Director, and Finance Manager briefs most CFOs get wrong and what each role actually requires
- The skills that matter now versus five years ago and how to screen for them
- What to look for beyond the resume, including the red flags that are easy to miss
- The hiring mistakes CFOs keep making and how to avoid them
- Retention strategies that cost very little but make a significant difference
