“With a lot of uncertainty and fi nancial concerns in the air,
off ering additional, non-fi nancial benefi ts could help businesses ensure they’re still rewarding their best people, while the nation rides out these challenging economic times. Making your teams feel appreciated and valued can go a long way to retain employees.” The rise of remote and hybrid working models has had a
profound impact on the fi nance sector. While senior professionals can be willing to relocate for the right opportunities, fl exibility in working arrangements remains a top priority for most candidates looking to work in the practice. “Employers in Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire that
off er remote or hybrid options are better positioned to attract and retain talent, particularly in a competitive job market,” said Nathan. “If they can’t off er this, on top of a competitive salary, they are likely to lose talented people who will look to roles outside the area.” Technological advancements are also reshaping profession.
Tools like Power BI and data analytics platforms are becoming indispensable, even for senior roles. Automation and outsourcing are increasingly used to handle routine tasks, pushing fi nance professionals to focus on areas where they can deliver strategic value. T is shift requires a greater emphasis on technical skills, as well as the ability to interpret and apply data-driven insights.
One of the most notable trends is the growing importance of
roles that bridge the gap between fi nance and strategy. Positions like fi nance business partners and commercially focused fi nance directors are increasingly in demand. T ese roles require profes- sionals who can engage with senior leadership, such as managing directors, to provide insights that drive business growth. Nathan added: “Local employers looking for finance
professionals are seeking those who can multitask and adapt to various responsibilities. This flexibility is particularly valuable in a dynamic economic environment, where organisations are looking for finance professionals who can contribute across multiple areas. “T e emphasis is on fi nding talent who combine technical
expertise with the ability to think strategically and communicate eff ectively- which Reed can help you do.”
