How to hire the best
Chief Financial Officer or Controller
for your Interim or Permanent Assignment
It all starts with the Position Description.
Without a complete understanding of your requirements, it is not possible to find you the right individual. Who does the position report to? What are the credentials expected such as CPA or MBA? Is an understanding of specific software programs required? What are the primary challenges the candidate will be facing?
The next issue is location. Being vague on the exact city is generally speaking a bad idea. There are cities candidates might find desirable and there are cities they would never consider. There are cities where they have previously lived and would pay their own relocation to get back there. As an example, the Midwest is a big place. There is no purpose in wasting anyone's time. As they say in Real Estate: Location, location, location.
The next issue is compensation. What is the targeted base salary? Is there a bonus? Are you offering relocation assistance? Phrases like "Market," "Depending on experience," and "Negotiable" are totally without meaning. Someone has to go first and every assignment has a relevant range for the company. Not being specific causes you to get the wrong candidates on both ends. Some candidates don't apply because they assume the opportunity doesn't pay enough, and other candidates apply but have salary demands well beyond your budget. As they say, money talks. You want the right message to be heard.
With this tool in hand, The FECG can find you the very best person for your requirements.
The Financial Executives Consulting Group
In today's wired world, time is of the essence with frequent changes in organizational structure and shifts in business goals becoming the norm. In this type of environment organizations must respond quickly with new initiatives or risk losing their competitive edge.
The unrelenting pressure on the financial staff to respond often brings into sharp focus the twin issues of headcount and expertise; it is no longer efficient for a company to maintain in-house experts on every facet of the company's financial operations, yet resolving the "crisis du jour" usually requires the financial functions to acquire additional or different skills than in the past.
Founded in 1999, The Financial Executives Consulting Group, LLC was created for just these types of situations. We can draw on an international network of 35,000 highly experienced senior financial professionals to assist companies acquire or divest business units, manage their liquidity, control the risks associated with today’s financial markets, and provide financial and accounting expertise as needed.
