Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When the CFO or Controller is spending too much time producing reports rather than analyzing them. Common triggers: a new board, active investors, an upcoming IPO, or management reporting complexity that has outgrown spreadsheets.
Only if you are a public company or actively preparing for IPO. For private companies, the focus is board reporting, investor packages, and management dashboards. SEC experience is useful context but not a hard requirement.
Advanced Excel is the baseline. Power BI or Tableau for dashboards. Workiva or similar for SEC filers. Your ERP for data extraction: NetSuite, SAP, or Oracle. The best candidates can work across multiple tools and know how to automate the parts that do not need a human.
With Recruiting Connection, expect a shortlist in 2 to 3 weeks. This is a niche role. The best candidates combine accounting rigor with communication skills, which narrows the pool quickly. Our proprietary database surfaces passive candidates that job boards will not reach.
