Hiring a senior finance executive is rarely as simple as choosing between two impressive resumes. A company may need a VP of Finance, a CFO, or someone capable of moving between both levels of responsibility as the organization grows. While the two positions can overlap in smaller companies, their expectations, decision-making authority, and relationship with executive leadership are often very different.
Accounting and finance leadership hiring is changing as companies expect more from their finance organizations. The traditional responsibilities of financial reporting, budgeting, accounting controls, and compliance remain essential, but senior finance professionals are increasingly expected to contribute to strategy, technology, forecasting, risk management, and business growth.
Finance leadership is changing faster than the traditional titles suggest. The CFO is no longer viewed only as the executive responsible for financial reporting, controls, budgeting, and cash management. Controllers, FP&A leaders, technical accounting executives, and other senior finance professionals are also being asked to contribute to technology transformation, business strategy, operational improvement, and long-term value creation.
