Finance

Role in Market Leader
Finance orchestrates complex budgeting across multiple segments or regions. You maintain detailed P&Ls for each segment and track cost efficiency. You might also consider international tax strategies if you have global entities.

Objectives
Provide advanced forecasting and guidance to segment GMs, manage currency exposures, and optimize capital structure. You also weigh different financing options (debt, equity, or cash flow from operations) for expansions and acquisitions.

Areas of Specialization
The finance team may have roles like a treasurer for cash management, a tax manager for global compliance, and a corporate development function for M&A analysis. The CFO is a key strategic partner at board meetings.
