Ashleigh Wangmann’s Post

Let’s talk $$ and titles. I’m representing roles that range from Senior through Controller and the comp on these range vastly. - Senior Accountant searches ranging between $75k-$130k - Accounting Manager searches ranging between $100k-$140k - Finance Manager searches ranging between $120k-$160k - Controller ranging between $110k-$230k The takeaway here, titles do not equate to salary! This is tough one to wrap around, but context is key when it comes to “pricing” a role within the market. If you’re searching for a new position, rather than judging titles look at the full picture (company, industry, responsibilities, reporting into/managing, etc). #jobsearchtips #jobsearch #interviewtips #therightteamrightnow #xplora #xplorasearch

Cultivating vibrant connections - Ashleigh Wangmann and Beck Chisholm #Verve Finance Specialists! We know finance recruitment today isn’t easy. Talent is short and isn’t just about finding people good with figures. Candidates also need people skills, analytical ability and digital savviness. Plus, personalities need to ‘click’ and be a culture add to your current team. Meanwhile, candidates are looking for workplaces that professionally and personally fulfil their needs. They want more than just a salary. They want flexible hours, a supportive environment, and to feel that they’re more than just a number in their number-crunching role.

Navigating the finance landscape? As a Qualified Accountant, Finance Director, or Payroll Manager, you're well aware of the challenges and opportunities that the finance sector presents. Securing a role that not only matches your skills but also pushes your boundaries is no small feat. Here's the thing - the finance arena is evolving, and with it, the roles and expectations. Whether it's adapting to new financial regulations, mastering digital transformation, or leading a team through uncertain economic times, your expertise is in demand. But how do you stand out in a competitive job market? Firstly, it's about leveraging your unique blend of skills and experience. Have you driven financial success in previous roles? Implemented innovative cost-saving strategies? Managed payroll with a precision that would impress even the most meticulous auditor? These are the stories you need to share. Secondly, consider your professional development. Are you up to date with the latest industry software and financial reporting standards? Continuous learning is not just a buzzword; it's a necessity in the fast-paced world of finance. Networking is also key. Engage with industry peers on platforms like LinkedIn, attend webinars, and join professional bodies. These connections can often lead to opportunities that never hit the open job market. Lastly, don't underestimate the power of a well-crafted CV and LinkedIn profile. Highlight your achievements, quantify your successes, and make it clear why you're the ideal candidate for that next-level role. Remember, the right opportunity is out there. It's about positioning yourself so that when it arises, you're ready to seize it with both hands. #FinanceCareers #JobSearch #CareerGrowth

Will a Controller title at a smaller company help me get a controller position at a bigger company? Short answer: No 👇👇👇 The experience you would be getting would still be transferrable into a larger organization but to make a direct transfer is normally not the case. Depending on how big the larger organization is, you'd likely end up at an Accounting Manager or Assistant Controller level. Ex. 60 MM -> 2 BN (I'm sure there are people in my network who have transitioned from Controller with a small company to controller at a big company, share your wisdom with us?) But, as a generalized statement, this isn't something I would expect. To be a Controller in a large organization, you must have large organization experience. It's too important of a role within the organization... If you had experience auditing large companies and then took a Controller role at a small company you would have a better chance at making the switch since you understand the workings and have hands-on experience. How would you recommend becoming a Controller at a large company? #accountingandfinance #controllership #financialconsulting

This week I will have spent 11 years recruiting accounting and corporate finance professionals in Perth. I have been racking my brain for a piece of advice that rings true for everyone but that's probably fairly hard to do considering everyone's circumstances are so unique. I have landed on one piece of advice from a few years back that has probably been the most relevant when talking with candidates... > Take 3 factors - Industry experience, your primary skill set, size of companies you have worked for > When moving jobs you can typically change 1 of these factors and still have a decent chance at getting the role > It's not impossible to change 2 or even all 3 factors but it likely takes a candidate short job market, knowing someone on the inside of the new company or maybe a bit of luck It's certainly not groundbreaking advice but from the experience I've had it's fairly reliable. For example most hiring managers iv recruited for over the years are happy to consider someone without relevant industry experience so long as the candidate is an expert at the job they've applied for and they've worked in a similar size company with similar accounting issues OR You can move from financial accountant to FP&A so long as you know the industry inside out and have worked for similar size companies and so on...
