Reporting to the Finance Director, the Financial Controller manages the accounting operations, financial reporting & compliance functions. Success in the role requires a significant shift from an accountant, with extensive responsibilities & management exposure.

During this session we’ll look at three areas that are crucial for success in the role, Business Acumen, Technical Competence & Emotional Intellect.

In each one, we’ll discuss the characteristics required & challenge delegates to develop & implement each element.

We’ll also look at some ways to build a genuine connection with the FD.

By the end of the session delegates will have a clear idea on:

Requirements of a Financial Controller
Management of a wide finance team
How to communicate effectively with various stakeholders
How to remain sane during stress periods.

They will also have the chance to interact with other FC’s & share experiences of the role.

Who should attend:
