Building a World-Class Finance Team 

Behind every successful business is a finance team that’s accurate, reliable, and strategic. Yet finance often gets less attention than sales, partnerships, or new product launches – until something goes wrong. 

The four pillars of a strong finance function

Data, control, information and wisdom are the building blocks of a high-performing finance team. Each area requires different skills and processes, and neglecting any one of them can create risk or limit growth. 

Practical steps to assess and strengthen your team

In this video, James Roach, Managing Director at Headstar, explains why you shouldn’t expect one person to cover all four pillars, and how to assess where your team is strong and where to invest more resource. He also points to free tools on the Headstar website to help benchmark your team’s capability; our free Finance Team Test and our free How to Build a World-Class Guide.
