Those who make it to the most senior positions in the finance sector have roles that extend far beyond number-crunching: they often fill the right-hand position to the CEO and are expected to advise on strategy, manage relationships with investors and other stakeholders, and oversee change management and IT projects. This range of responsibilities calls for a unique skill set.

Featuring interviews with current and former CFOs in the UK and overseas, as well as commentary from recruiters and headhunters, Reach the Top in Finance provides the ambitious finance professional of today with the guidance, insight and knowledge they need to become the respected CFO or senior partner of tomorrow.
