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.
Wigan (/ˈwɪɡən/ WIG-ən) is a town in Greater Manchester, England, on the River Douglas. The town is midway between the two cities of Manchester, 16 miles (25.7 km) to the south-east, and Liverpool, 17 miles (27 km) to the south-west. It is the largest settlement in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan and is its administrative centre. The town has a population of 107,732[1] and the wider borough of 330,714.[2] Wigan is part of the historic county of Lancashire.
Wigan was in the territory of the Brigantes, an ancient Celtic tribe that ruled much of what is now Northern England. The Brigantes were subjugated in the Roman conquest of Britain and the Roman settlement of Coccium was established where Wigan lies. Wigan was incorporated as a borough in 1246, following the issue of a charter by King Henry III of England. At the end of the Middle Ages, it was one of four boroughs in Lancashire established by royal charter. The Industrial Revolution saw a dramatic economic expansion and rapid rise in population. Wigan became a major mill town and coal mining district; at its peak, there were 1,000 pit shafts within 5 miles (8 km) of the town centre.[3][4] Coal mining ceased in the later 20th century.
Wigan Pier, a wharf on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, was made famous by the writer George Orwell. In his book The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), Orwell highlighted the poor working and living conditions of inhabitants in the 1930s. Following the decline of heavy industry, Wigan Pier's warehouses and wharves became a local heritage centre and cultural quarter. The Brick Community Stadium (formerly known as DW Stadium) is home to Wigan Athletic Football Club and Wigan Warriors Rugby League Football Club.
