Senior Financial Leadership & Controller Jobs
The role of the Finance Director is as challenging as ever, with effective working capital and cash-flow management, as well as financial governance high on the agenda. In addition, the finance leaders of today are not only expected just to deliver the accounts, but also to take on operational responsibilities for other functions as many businesses streamline their Senior Management teams.
Today’s Financial Director must be a leader, strategist and expert communicator. With such levels of responsibility and impact, finding the right individual is critical. With an in-depth understanding of the market place and extensive experience, we can help organisations attract and source their future financial leaders and help talented individuals seek out leadership positions.
As part of the Livingston James Group, we have the expertise to guide finance professionals into the career paths that lead to the coveted Financial Director or Chief Financial Officer roles. We understand how boardrooms and selection committees operate and can help professionals at every level lay the foundations for achieving the very highest positions in finance.
