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.

Learn how to choose the right recruitment company for your hiring needs. Harper May shares key factors to consider when selecting a specialist recruitment partner.

How to pick a recruitment company to use

Choosing the right recruitment company can have a direct impact on the quality of candidates you attract and the success of your hiring process. At <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/team">Harper May</a>, we work with businesses across London and the UK to support finance recruitment, giving us a clear understanding of what separates a strong recruitment partner from the rest.<h4>Choose a specialist recruitment agency</h4>One of the most important factors is whether the recruitment company specialises in your sector or function. A specialist finance recruitment agency will have deeper market knowledge, a stronger network and a clearer understanding of the roles you are hiring for.This is particularly important when hiring senior finance professionals such as CFOs, Finance Directors or Financial Controllers, where both technical expertise and commercial experience are critical.<h4>Assess their candidate network</h4>The best recruitment companies have access to a strong network of candidates, including both active job seekers and passive candidates. Passive candidates are often the most valuable, as they are not actively applying but may be open to the right opportunity.A high-quality recruitment partner should be able to demonstrate how they identify, engage and attract candidates beyond traditional job advertising.<h4>Understand their recruitment process</h4>A structured and well-defined recruitment process is key to securing the right hire. This should include market mapping, targeted search, candidate screening and detailed assessment.The most effective recruitment agencies take the time to understand your business, the role requirements and the long-term objectives behind the hire, rather than simply focusing on filling a vacancy quickly.<h4>Evaluate communication and partnership</h4>Clear and consistent communication is essential throughout the recruitment process. A strong recruitment partner will provide regular updates, honest feedback and insight into the current hiring market.They should also act as an extension of your business, offering guidance on salary expectations, candidate availability and hiring strategy.<h4>Look at experience and track record</h4>A recruitment company&rsquo;s track record can provide a clear indication of its ability to deliver. Experience in placing candidates in similar roles, along with client testimonials and repeat business, are strong indicators of reliability.Working with an experienced recruitment agency can significantly reduce hiring risk and improve long-term outcomes.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Choosing the right recruitment company is about more than just filling a role. It&rsquo;s about finding a partner that understands your business, has access to the right talent and can deliver a structured and effective hiring process.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.

How to Pick a Recruitment Company to Use | Harper May

Learn what makes the best recruitment company to use, from specialist expertise and candidate networks to process, communication and long-term hiring value.

What makes the best recruitment company to use?

The best recruitment companies do more than fill vacancies. At <a href="https://www.harpermay.com/cm/team">Harper May</a>, we work with businesses across London and the UK to support finance recruitment, and we understand that the strongest recruitment partners combine specialist knowledge, market reach and a structured approach to hiring.<h4>Specialist market knowledge</h4>One of the clearest signs of a strong recruitment company is genuine specialism. Agencies that focus on a specific sector or function are usually better placed to understand the technical requirements of a role, the current candidate market and the challenges involved in securing the right hire.In finance recruitment, that means understanding the difference between hiring a CFO, Finance Director, Financial Controller or Head of Finance, and knowing what businesses need at different stages of growth.<h4>Access to the right candidates</h4>The best recruitment companies have access to strong candidate networks, including both active and passive talent. This is often where the real value lies, as many of the strongest candidates are not actively applying for jobs but may be open to the right opportunity.A good recruitment partner should be able to demonstrate how they reach candidates beyond standard advertising channels.<h4>A credible and consistent process</h4>Strong recruitment companies tend to follow a clear and disciplined search process. This usually includes market mapping, targeted outreach, candidate qualification and structured assessment.A consistent process helps improve the quality of shortlisted candidates and reduces the risk of making the wrong hire.<h4>Honest communication</h4>The best agencies are clear, responsive and realistic. They give honest feedback, keep clients updated and provide useful insight into market conditions, salary expectations and candidate availability.That transparency is often what separates a trusted recruitment partner from an agency that simply forwards CVs.<h4>A proven track record</h4>A strong recruitment company should be able to point to relevant experience, repeat business and successful placements. A credible track record shows that the agency can deliver consistently and understands how to support clients over the long term.For many businesses, this is one of the strongest indicators of whether an agency is worth using.<h4>Long-term hiring value</h4>The best recruitment companies are not focused purely on filling a vacancy quickly. They understand the wider business context behind a hire and look for candidates who can make a long-term impact.That means considering not just technical ability, but leadership, commercial awareness and overall fit.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The best recruitment company to use is one that combines specialist expertise, access to high-quality candidates, a structured search process and a strong track record. Choosing the right recruitment partner can improve hiring outcomes and create longer-term value for your business.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.
