Finance Executive

A Finance Executive is like the financial compass of a company—they help steer the organisation toward its financial goals while keeping everything balanced and compliant. Here’s a quick breakdown of what they typically do:

  • Strategic Planning: They develop financial strategies aligned with the company’s goals and market conditions.

  • Budgeting and Forecasting: They prepare detailed budgets and predict future financial trends to help leadership make informed decisions.

  • Financial Reporting: Think income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports—Finance Executives oversee and interpret all of that.

  • Risk Management: They assess financial risks and ensure systems are in place to minimise them.

  • Compliance and Governance: They ensure the business follows regulations, tax laws, and internal controls.

  • Team Leadership: They may lead teams of analysts or accountants, guiding and mentoring them along the way.

In many companies, this role is a springboard to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) position.

​Macclesfield (/ˈmækəlzfiəld/) is a market town and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East, Cheshire, England. It is sited on the River Bollin and the edge of the Cheshire Plain, with Macclesfield Forest to its east; the town lies 16 miles (26 km) south of Manchester and 38 miles (61 km) east of Chester.

Before the Norman Conquest, Macclesfield was held by Edwin, Earl of Mercia and was assessed at £8. The medieval town grew up on the hilltop around what is now St Michael's Church. It was granted a municipal charter in 1261. Macclesfield Grammar School was founded in 1502. The town had a silk-button industry from at least the middle of the 17th century and became a major silk-manufacturing centre from the mid-18th century. The Macclesfield Canal was constructed in 1826–31.

Hovis breadmakers were another Victorian employer; modern industries include pharmaceuticals, such as Astra Zeneca. Multiple mill buildings are still standing and several of the town's museums explore the local silk industry. Other landmarks include Georgian buildings such as the Town Hall and former Sunday School; St Alban's Church, designed by Augustus Pugin; and the Arighi Bianchi furniture shop.

At the 2021 census the population of the parish was 52,496 and the population of the built up area was 54,345. A person from the town is referred to as a Maxonian.[4][a]
