The Finance Director role is far reaching and carries varying levels of responsibility depending on the size and structure of an organisation.
In a smaller business, the FD will likely be the number one in finance and therefore the main financial custodian and common thread between the board, private equity investors and external stakeholders such as the auditors and banks. At this SME level, the FD may carry additional managerial responsibilities, such as HR, IT and Procurement.
This differs greatly to the FD role in a larger organisation where the duties may focus on a particular product, service-line or geographical region. The one constant is a keen eye on detail and overheads as well as lending valuable support to the managing director and/or commercial director when it comes to company sales, contracts, tender wins and overall top-line growth.
The Finance Director will provide detailed reporting, monitor cashflow, identify potential financial risks and provide strategic insight. The Finance Director is the financial heartbeat of the organisation and will play a key part in its continued success.
