What Does a CFO Do?

Harper May specialises in <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/employers/cfo-recruitment-agency-london">CFO recruitment</a>, helping businesses secure senior financial leadership aligned to their structure, growth stage and long-term objectives.A Chief Financial Officer plays a central role in shaping the financial direction of a business, but what that role looks like depends on the stage and complexity of the organisation.For growing businesses, a CFO is often brought in to build financial structure, improve reporting, strengthen controls and introduce greater financial visibility as operations scale.For more established or investment-backed businesses, the role becomes increasingly strategic, focusing on long-term planning, performance tracking, capital allocation and supporting key decisions around funding, transactions and growth.In many organisations, the CFO operates at board level, working closely with senior leadership to guide decision-making, manage risk and ensure the business has clear financial oversight.A CFO typically supports organisations with:<ul data-start="1284" data-end="1659"><li data-section-id="79dyd" data-start="1284" data-end="1329">Financial strategy and long-term planning</li><li data-section-id="1tru0tc" data-start="1330" data-end="1387">Improving reporting accuracy and financial visibility</li><li data-section-id="1tg3qb2" data-start="1388" data-end="1441">Managing cash flow, funding and capital structure</li><li data-section-id="xq7b6m" data-start="1442" data-end="1493">Strengthening financial controls and governance</li><li data-section-id="5d93h6" data-start="1494" data-end="1540">Board reporting and stakeholder engagement</li><li data-section-id="o2gys4" data-start="1541" data-end="1603">Driving performance through financial insight and analysis</li><li data-section-id="1plsmua" data-start="1604" data-end="1659">Supporting investment, M&amp;A and transaction activity</li></ul>The scope of the role varies significantly depending on the business, which is why appointing the right CFO at the right time is critical to supporting growth and maintaining financial control.Harper May works with businesses at different stages, from companies hiring their first CFO to organisations requiring more experienced financial leadership to support investment, scaling or transformation.We recruit across a range of sectors including technology, financial services, professional services, consumer businesses and private equity-backed companies, ensuring candidates bring relevant experience aligned to each organisation&rsquo;s needs.We also support senior finance appointments across:<ul data-start="2361" data-end="2429"><li data-section-id="emk2oz" data-start="2361" data-end="2382">Finance Directors</li><li data-section-id="dxgamm" data-start="2383" data-end="2408">Financial Controllers</li><li data-section-id="8hvle" data-start="2409" data-end="2429">Heads of Finance</li></ul>You can also explore our <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/employers/finance-recruitment-agency-london">Finance Recruitment services</a> to see how we support businesses hiring across the finance function.If your organisation is looking to hire a CFO, <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/team">Harper May&rsquo;s specialist finance recruiters</a> in London can help you identify and secure the right financial leadership for your business.

Fractional CFO vs full-time CFO: understand the key differences, responsibilities and when businesses hire each financial leadership role.

Fractional CFO vs Full-Time CFO

Harper May specialises in <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/employers/cfo-recruitment-agency-london">CFO recruitment</a>, helping businesses secure the right level of financial leadership based on their structure, growth stage and long-term objectives.Many businesses reach a point where founders, CEOs or leadership teams need to decide between hiring a fractional CFO or appointing a full-time CFO, particularly as financial complexity increases.A fractional CFO, sometimes referred to as a part-time or interim CFO, is typically engaged where a business requires senior financial support without committing to a full-time appointment.This is often relevant for growing businesses where founders or CEOs need to improve reporting, strengthen financial visibility and introduce greater control, but do not yet require a permanent board-level hire.A full-time CFO is usually required once the business reaches a stage where financial complexity, reporting demands and strategic priorities require consistent leadership and oversight.This typically includes businesses preparing for investment, managing funding, scaling operations or requiring ongoing board-level support.The decision between a fractional and full-time CFO is not just about cost or structure, but about ensuring the business has the right level of financial leadership to support its next stage of growth.Appointing a CFO too early can create unnecessary cost, while delaying the hire or relying on insufficient support can lead to gaps in reporting, control and decision-making.Harper May works with businesses at different stages, from those seeking flexible CFO support to organisations ready to hire a full-time CFO to lead finance through growth, investment or transformation.We recruit across a range of sectors including technology, financial services, professional services, consumer businesses and private equity-backed companies.We also support senior finance appointments across:<ul data-start="2212" data-end="2309"><li data-section-id="bw4y1t" data-start="2212" data-end="2240">Chief Financial Officers</li><li data-section-id="emk2oz" data-start="2241" data-end="2262">Finance Directors</li><li data-section-id="dxgamm" data-start="2263" data-end="2288">Financial Controllers</li><li data-section-id="8hvle" data-start="2289" data-end="2309">Heads of Finance</li></ul>You can also explore our <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/employers/finance-recruitment-agency-london">Finance Recruitment services</a> to see how we support businesses hiring across the finance function.If your organisation is deciding between a fractional CFO or full-time CFO, <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/team">Harper May&rsquo;s specialist finance recruiters</a> in London can help you determine the right approach and secure the right financial leadership for your business.

Finance Director Interview Questions

Harper May specialises in <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/employers/finance-director-recruitment-london">Finance Director recruitment</a>, helping businesses secure senior financial leadership aligned to their structure, growth stage and long-term objectives.Many businesses reach a stage where founders, CEOs or leadership teams need to hire a Finance Director, and preparing the right interview questions is a key part of identifying the right candidate.The strongest Finance Director interview processes focus not only on technical capability, but also on leadership, commercial judgement and the ability to support strategic decision-making.The right questions help businesses assess whether a Finance Director can improve reporting, strengthen financial controls and operate effectively at senior level.Typical Finance Director interview questions often focus on:<ul data-start="924" data-end="1332"><li data-section-id="10x0kd6" data-start="924" data-end="993">How the candidate has improved financial reporting and visibility</li><li data-section-id="ddx7y8" data-start="994" data-end="1056">Experience strengthening financial controls and governance</li><li data-section-id="fl0gpe" data-start="1057" data-end="1123">Involvement in budgeting, forecasting and performance tracking</li><li data-section-id="lew8lo" data-start="1124" data-end="1199">Ability to partner with senior leadership and influence decision-making</li><li data-section-id="1v2x3ie" data-start="1200" data-end="1278">Experience supporting business growth, restructuring or operational change</li><li data-section-id="13s86ml" data-start="1279" data-end="1332">Approach to managing and developing finance teams</li></ul>While these areas provide a useful framework, the most effective interview process is tailored to the specific needs of the business, including its stage of growth, financial complexity and strategic priorities.In growing businesses, a Finance Director is often required to build structure, improve reporting and introduce stronger controls, while in more established or investment-backed organisations the role becomes more focused on performance, strategy and leadership at board level.Harper May works with businesses to define the right brief, shape an effective interview process and identify Finance Director candidates who align with both the technical and commercial requirements of the role.We recruit across a range of sectors including technology, financial services, professional services, consumer businesses and private equity-backed companies.We also support senior finance appointments across:<ul data-start="2253" data-end="2350"><li data-section-id="bw4y1t" data-start="2253" data-end="2281">Chief Financial Officers</li><li data-section-id="emk2oz" data-start="2282" data-end="2303">Finance Directors</li><li data-section-id="dxgamm" data-start="2304" data-end="2329">Financial Controllers</li><li data-section-id="8hvle" data-start="2330" data-end="2350">Heads of Finance</li></ul>You can also explore our <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/employers/finance-recruitment-agency-london">Finance Recruitment services</a> to see how we support businesses hiring across the finance function.If your organisation is looking to hire a Finance Director, <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/team">Harper May&rsquo;s specialist finance recruiters</a> in London can help you identify and secure the right financial leadership for your business.
