The traditional titles in a 📝Finance & Accounting Department, from most to least senior:
- Chief Financial Officer
- VP / Director Finance
- VP / Director FP&A
- Controller
- Accounting Manager
- Staff Accountant
- AP / AR Clerk
These titles were designed before the internet and don't communicate very well where a person hired into a finance and accounting department will land. The 📝Financial Organization Responsibility Matrix describes the department by function and skill instead, and the 📝Strategic CFO/COO Role defines what the top role does.
