Ascension Search Partners’ Post

As a Search firm with strong focus on #finance hiring, we see many finance leaders struggle to get to their next career trajectory despite meeting the key criteria of a finance leader role. Some of the key things we hear hiring leaders mention as a non-negotiable for a CFO/FC/Business Finance role beyond the typical #skillset is—𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—the ability to explain numbers to a non finance leader. Also to think of profitability but not by cutting budget but rather thinking out of the box and making other stakeholders see it the same way. So if you are a finance #professional instead of just trying to get more certifications this may be something that you would want to pay attention to. #FinanceLeaders #CFO #FinancialController #BusinessFinance #Growth360

GGHM partners Michael Kim and Cory Morowitz will be in Las Vegas at RES hosting one-on-one meetings in GGHM's hospitality suite at Caesars’ Nobu Hotel. Some of the topics we’ll be discussing are: • Optimizing Operations as Foundation for Growth: how can tribal organizations employ dynamic assessment to drive performance and optimize results  • Diversification: what's the best and most efficient way to evaluate various investment opportunities and establish a consistent approach to evaluating and comparing risk-adjusted returns? • Strategic Planning: what are the various ways organizations can articulate a common sustainable vision, build consensus and ensure leadership is aligned with diverse stakeholders? • Outsourced CFO - why companies should consider outsourcing key duties associated with traditional C-level roles like that of a Chief Financial Officer when filling a vacancy or wanting access to a higher level of expertise and experience without the higher pricetag • Opportunity Knocks: why understanding how verticals like sports betting, online, social and the convergence with entertainment should be foundational to a diversification plan.  

Stop applying to CFO jobs. Start applying to companies that need a CFO's skills but haven't listed the job yet. Big difference. Bigger opportunity. → Research companies experiencing growth or restructuring. They may need financial leadership. → Reach out to decision-makers directly. Show them the value you can bring. #CFOJobs

"Decisive people for decisive moments." That sums interim management up pretty well! Benoit DURAND-TISNÈS Do you want to create your business future instead of waiting for it? Investing in an interim manager can take you one step closer to that business goal... Instead of passively adapting to the future, an interim manager takes charge, implementing strategies and driving the change that the organisation needs to go into to be a success. Their decisive actions empower businesses to shape their businesses ideal futures, making the most of present opportunities and positioning themselves for a thriving future. Interim managers are 4 steps ahead when you are 2 steps behind, the only thing you need to keep up, is to invest in your future by hiring an interim manager.

🧐 Recruitment CEO's: Do you have a high potential head of finance who you'd like to develop into a commercial, board level FD? 🧐 We can help them transition from being operationally good to being strategically brilliant! Simply by changing their mindset and opening their eyes to what is possible in an FD role in recruitment. They may have been promoted through your finance team to now be running finance or they may have been recruited into your business after holding senior finance roles in other industries - the course is designed for both! The course lasts for 6 months and covers the following: 💥 What is the FD mindset and how does it differ from earlier in your career? 💥 How to prepare for a successful exit 💥 How to write market leading remuneration schemes and roll them out in a motivating way 💥 How to run a budgeting process that genuinely creates a common goal across the SLT 💥 How to manage and run a high performing finance team 💥 How to drive value through the other non-sales teams 💥 How to create influential relationships across the business This course is based on my own experience. Finding myself running a finance team in a high growth recruitment business, with no one above me to learn from or aspire to be, with a CEO would couldn't develop me either. As the market starts to improve, this is the perfect time to invest in your head of finance........or maybe lose them to a more forward thinking competitor? 😬 #recruitment #aspiringfds #fds
