Hiring mistakes to avoidFor companies
| Mistake | What happens | How to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| Hiring a classic accountant for a CFO role | Reporting is done, but strategy and treasury are missing | Test planning, treasury and investor reporting, not only bookkeeping |
| No experience with payment settlements | Unreconciled balances and frozen funds | Ask how they reconciled provider settlements at scale |
Advice for candidatesFor candidates
Show the structures you have run: entities, currencies, volumes and the reporting you owned. Examples of controls you introduced are very convincing.
