Finding the right person…
I have had occasional mushrooms in my garden but this year I seem to have had more than ever and can offer a selection from very small and yellow through to large and creamy coloured. The sad thing is that I suspect none of them are edible and I am certainly not going to risk it.
Many clients have permanent finance staff working for them and it can be useful for the part time FD to get involved in any recruitment process. The challenge for MDs is that it can be hard to ask the right questions, let alone judge whether it is the right answer, when looking for staff in a discipline you aren’t sure about. In addition, many candidates are skilled at telling us what we want to hear so it’s often worth having a specific ‘test’ to make sure they can deliver and not just talk about it.
Finding the right staff can sometimes feel a bit like looking for the mushroom in amongst all the toadstools on offer but expert advice can help reduce the risk of getting it wrong.
