How Does The New Chief Financial Officer Work Well?

If I were the chief financial officer, I might do this:

First, make clear: how big is the scale of the enterprise? company The structure of a company must first be understood and its main and auxiliary projects should be clearly understood.

If the company is only an independent company and has no branches, the chief financial officer is quite a financial manager, so he can basically work according to the responsibilities of the financial manager. Of course, since it is the chief financial officer, the boss of such a large scale enterprise pays more attention to two points: capital control and cost control. For a finance manager This is a familiar thing. Individual bosses may also consider financing the bank. The problem of tax avoidance can be solved by general financial officers.

If the company is a group company with many subordinate branches, I will do so:

First, find out the bottom.

The main concern of the boss may be the problem of accounting. It may be a matter of financial security. It may be a matter of cost control. It may also be a question of financing. This should be clearer when interviewed with the boss. When you get to the bottom, pay special attention to your boss's concerns.

As a financial controller, whether the financial work can be done smoothly in the future will focus on the construction of the financial foundation, including the foundation of accounting and internal control. Only by consolidating the foundation and accumulating comprehensive and accurate basic data can the financial analysis, capital plan and budgetary management be carried out smoothly in the future. Therefore, first of all, we should understand the production procedures, financial control procedures and financial work of the following enterprises.

(1) look. First, the various financial statements and financial reports should be spanferred to the head office for a general look. And ask the finance director of the group company for some information, maybe he can not know anything from him, but there will always be some gains when talking about it.

(2) chat. That is to try to go to all branches to take a lap, this is also called the lower level. First, chat with the finance director below, then talk to the workshop and workshop supervisor, see the general manager and general manager, talk to the warehouse and store management. Chatting is not just a simple chat. It's always about to talk about what you want to know. Through chatting, you can understand many situations and problems of the enterprise, and you can also get a general understanding of the ability level of the chatting people.

(3) check. Check the storeroom and check it out. workshop The key is to look at finance. In finance, it is to see the report forms, to view the accounting treatment, and to look at the financial management system. These are the keys to the adjustment of the financial work for the next step. To the finance department, we need to talk more and talk to any accountant.

Anyone who has had audit experience knows that in the internal audit work, being good at chatting can make auditing work take a lot of detours.

At the same time, when checking accounts, we can not let the following staff feel that this is "handling cases", otherwise, the work will be hard to do.

Two, through the investigation of the whole group, the whole group's situation has been grasped roughly, especially the direction of financial work's further rectification. This is easy to carry out.

(1) adjusting procedures, including financial internal control procedures and accounting procedures, changing, revising and formulating financial internal management system.

(2) adjust the way of accounting, including some basic settings. In carrying out these adjustments, we should take into account the need for financial analysis, capital planning and budget management in the future.

(3) unified statement and unified structure and content of financial analysis. The design of internal reports should take account of the needs of financial analysis. The structure and content of financial analysis should first consider the needs of the boss and combine the needs of financial professionals. This is the key to the decision of the boss, which is to design the important contents that the boss has not considered.

(4) financial personnel training and adjustment. The level of financial personnel is different. My principle is that as long as we cooperate and obey, we can do our best to train and guide. As long as I am willing to learn, I am not worried about whose level is higher than me. If this person is not competent enough for this position, he can consider changing his position and generally do not fire. But if they do not cooperate or even act deliberately, they will have to send it to the human resources department.

Three, whether a financial controller can make the following financial personnel obedience obedience, virtue is the key, followed by the level of business.

The so-called virtue is not to take all the achievements to oneself, to mistake all subordinates, not to consider only their own interests, but also to take care of the interests of their subordinates. When subordinates and leaders of other departments are in conflict, they should dare to speak for them to support them; their subordinates should be rewarded for their deeds, that is to say, they must be praised and done, but they must not be punished, because the finance department is not the army. Of course, if subordinates meet the bottom line of corruption and disclosure of financial secrets, they must be dismissed.

As for the level of business, not much. Since they are all chief financial officers, they will not be baffled by their subordinates in terms of business level.
