This is an excellent short article on the challenges of building the finance team you need, not least as it features a client. Seriously though, finding and hiring great CFO's and senior finance professionals is harder than ever. What they are required to do is becoming ever more complex. Looking at the matter of finance talent strategically is the key. Build the team with the requisite skills, personality and experience relevant to your stage of growth. In finance particularly, how important is industry experience, verses for example, experience fundraising, or in international expansion, or R&D tax regimes?  

A Hyperion we hire strategically important roles, by working with the founding/leadership teams of our clients, to understand the broader picture and challenges. Whether that's finance, operations, sales or engineering.
