How to recruit finance talent with ease

Accounting teams are the backbone of any organisation, looking after the financial goings on of the business. Having a robust accounting team is crucial for the success of an organisation. In this article Inspire ATA will discuss how to recruit the right finance talent for your unique business needs.

What to consider when recruiting for a financial officer

While specific experience and qualifications can help you initially identify strong candidates, it’s important to consider specific soft skills and attitudes that are key for financial work. These include:

Analytical & Problem-Solving

Working within finance can include data and reporting work. This is why having the ability to interpret data, apply analytical reasoning, and solve complex challenges is key for succeeding in such a role.

Communication 

Those working in a financial role need to have excellent verbal and written skills to convey financial info to all levels.

Attention to Detail & Accuracy

This skill is essential for error-free financial records.

Adaptability & Curiosity 

The right candidate should have a willingness to learn the business, adapt to change, and look beyond the numbers.

Integrity & Discretion 

Working in finance exposes the employee to a lot of sensitive and confidential data. Financial officers need to have high levels of honesty, reliability, and ability to handle confidential information.
