Information technology means Finance is increasingly working externally with customers, suppliers and investors, as well as internally with Business Unit Leaders.

The qualities that any HR Director, CFO or CEO points to in finding a Finance candidate who can be a true business partner are strategic thinking, innovation and the ability to challenge the status quo. The demand for finance talent capable of designing and implementing change programmes internationally will rise rapidly as trade barriers fall and competition increases.

The back office number cruncher is in the past, now finance works on business critical initiatives and long-range planning and is involved in pushing sales as well as cutting costs.
