What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CFO, and why are they important?

To thrive as a CFO, you need deep expertise in financial management, accounting, strategic planning, and typically a degree in finance or accounting, often supported by a CPA or MBA. Familiarity with ERP systems, financial modeling tools, and regulatory compliance frameworks is crucial. Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills set outstanding CFOs apart by enabling effective collaboration and guidance across departments. These skills are essential for driving organizational growth, ensuring financial health, and supporting informed executive decision-making.

What is the difference between Cfo vs Financial Controller?

AspectChief Financial Officer (CFO)Financial Controller
Primary RoleStrategic financial planning, oversight of entire finance department, executive decision-makingManaging accounting operations, financial reporting, compliance, and internal controls
Required CredentialsTypically CPA or CFA, extensive finance experience, leadership skillsOften CPA, accounting background, strong knowledge of accounting standards
Work EnvironmentExecutive suite, collaborating with CEO and boardFinance department, accounting teams, internal reporting
Industry UsageUsed across industries for strategic leadershipCommonly found in organizations with complex accounting needs

The CFO focuses on strategic financial leadership and long-term planning, while the Financial Controller handles day-to-day accounting operations and financial reporting. Both roles require strong financial credentials, but the CFO's scope is broader, involving executive decision-making and company-wide financial strategy.

How does a CFO typically collaborate with other departments to drive organizational strategy?

A CFO works closely with leaders from all departments, such as operations, sales, and HR, to align financial planning with overall business objectives. This includes participating in strategic planning meetings, providing financial insights for decision-making, and ensuring resources are allocated effectively. CFOs often lead cross-functional teams on budgeting, forecasting, and major projects, acting as a bridge between finance and other areas. Their input is crucial for evaluating investments, setting performance targets, and identifying cost-saving opportunities, making collaboration a key part of the role.

Be part of an organization that is fully member-owned, sustainable, and deeply invested in the communities it serves. North Central Co-op provides goods and services across Stony Plain, Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan, Spruce Grove, St. Albert, Legal, Sherwood Park, and Edson. With over 140,000 member-owners, 650+ team members, and a growing network of retail and energy operations, we are proud of the role we play in Western Canada-and excited about what's next.

  • Lead and develop high-performing teams across Finance & Administration, Asset Protection, and I.T.
  • Collaborate within the Co-operative Retailing System (CRS) to ensure alignment and best practices.
  • Support governance and Board reporting within the Co-op's governance structure.

Regular travel to North Central Co-op locations is required to enable connection with teams and locations.

Who you are: 

You are a seasoned, values-driven executive who brings both strategic vision and operational discipline, as well as the following:

  • Degree, preferably in Business or Finance
  • CPA designation is a requirement
  • 10+ years of progressively responsible finance experience, including 8+ years in senior leadership roles
  • Proven ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams and work effectively with Boards and executive leadership
  • Confidence with public speaking, presenting to different audiences and engaging with individuals across our association and externally

Our Team Members receive competitive wages and an employer-contributed pension plan as well as recognition programs for service. We encourage our Team Members to take advantage of learning opportunities, to grow and develop, and to foster a culture of teamwork and innovation.

North Central embraces diversity and inclusion and we're working to create a workplace that is as diverse as the communities we serve. We support and provide an environment that allows every person to bring their whole self to work.
