The role of a finance director

A finance director is responsible for ensuring the health of a business’ finances, and growing those finances. Finance director jobs are senior positions within the hierarchy of any company, such is the importance of this role. 

The finance director job description typically includes the development and implementation of a business’ financial plans and policies.

Duties typically include monitoring business performance and cash flow, overseeing and tracking budgets, preparing accounts, developing financial models, competitor analysis, and future-proofing the business. In larger organisation they may also be tasked with managing the wider accounts team.

Professionals in finance director roles must also assess financial markets, and problem solve around any financial challenges, from cash flow issues to budgeting difficulties. They will need to have the capability to make important decisions about the company’s future investments or budgets.

Finance directors work with other members of the senior leadership teams to make strategic business decisions, and report directly to the business’ chief executive office, managing director, or chief operations officer. Indeed, they will work closely with the CEO in order to ensure they are managing the business in a financially-effective way.

In bigger organisations, finance director roles are typically more strategic, while at smaller companies, they may need to be more involved in day-to-day account matters too.
