War for talent : We cannot find qualified

BELIEVE IT : WE HAD THE SAME
PROBLEMS and we looked for
many solutions..
Well, We CFO’s and staff do not have
the time and resources to answer your
demands since:

with low budgets and limited resources
in a silo and non technology driven
organization that needs to comply with
shorter deadlines, more complex
compliance and legislation and people
that are more sick at work then healthy.
(*) RH salary study 2014 indicated that most CFO ‘s have difficulties finding Ap/Ar/Gl accountants, financial and business analysts, financial controllers and planners, internal auditors
and tax managers - most wanted skills are : IT, ERP/BI integrated, US GAAP/IFRS, Basel III/Solvency, Analytical skills
