Is your FD the right fit for your business? Could you have made a mistake in the hiring process? Hiring the right financial leader can make or break your business. If your FD isn’t delivering the strategic value your SME needs, or doesn't mesh well with your existing team, it could be holding you back. Here are key signs to watch for: 1️⃣ Lack of strategic vision ↳ If they’re only focused on day-to-day tasks without aligning to long-term goals, it’s a red flag. 2️⃣ Cultural disconnect ↳ A Finance Director who doesn’t mesh with your team can disrupt collaboration and productivity. 3️⃣ Inflexibility ↳ Your business evolves—so should your finance leadership.

The evidence seems clear: fractional executives can help start-ups and SME's take their businesses to the next level. The explosion in senior professionals offering their services on a fractional basis is real and has benefits for businesses and the fractional execs themselves: For the businesses, you get access to seasoned professionals with all the battle scars, but without the fixed cost and you only pay for the time you need. The value add is clear. For the fractional exec, you have more control over your life, your client base and your hours. The job also stays fresh as you work with a variety of clients, where issues are different, in turn deepening your expertise. Many of us also have good connections with other fractional execs (I for one know plenty of fractional CFOs, CTO's, CMO's, CISO's and so on) so we can also help source the right professional for your needs. https://lnkd.in/eQtiXijj

🌟 Did you know that 71% of CEOs experience impostor syndrome? Physicians, lawyers, and PhDs in leadership face new challenges in their Executive roles. When my CEO client came to me, she felt trapped. She had a critical COO, inherited a financial mess, and was stuck dealing with daily fires and executive “babysitting”. Despite being one of the best in her industry, she felt overwhelmed. She hired me because she was tired of working in quicksand, exhausted, and missing out on her family. We immediately designed a 30-day strategic cohesion plan for her and her COO. They got to work. 🔹 Fixed key profit-driving processes and hiring. 🔹 Made tough decisions to clean up their system. 🔹 Hired better talent. This evaporated a huge workload from the CEO and COO, allowing them to secure amazing clients and win coveted industry awards. This is just the beginning. Imagine what’s possible for you when you strategically drop what’s weighing you down and make smarter moves. 🚀 #ExecutiveSuccess #Leadership #StrategicMoves #ImpostorSyndrome #ThriveInLeadership #WomenOnTop
