In this episode of FP&A Unlocked, hosts Paul Barnhurst and Glenn sit down with Tim Stalkamp to discuss interim leadership, FP&A talent, value creation, and what companies should really look for when hiring finance professionals.

The biggest hiring mistakes happen when companies search for the perfect resume.

They want someone who has solved the exact same problem.

In the exact same industry. Using the exact same systems. At the exact same type of company.

But the highest-impact finance leaders rarely fit into that box.

They bring experience from different industries, different challenges, and different business environments.

They don't just solve one problem. They know how to solve many.

The strongest FP&A professionals are finance athletes.
