  Part-time Financial Directors - increasingly in vogue.  
 
Small growing businesses are now proactively tuning in to the many strategic advantages of having a highly qualified board-level finance person on-side as early as possible. The idea of bringing in talent and skills as and when you need them has permeated business activity and, as a result, FDs have now become a viable option for businesses that previously couldn’t afford them.
  
  Increasingly, established companies are also considering utilising a part-time FD for example to provide cost effective cover for a full-time FD on maternity leave or, simply, in recognition that there is only the need for high level, and expensive, support say two days a week.  
  FD Checklist for CEO’s and MD’s  


>> Make sure the FD can make sufficient time available when you need it
>> Get someone who has experience in all the areas you need
>> The chemistry has to be right – could you work closely with them?
>> Discuss a clear task list up front with the FD and meet regularly to assess progress on it and whether to adjust it going forwards
