Being a Company Secretary and CFO of an ASX listed company is more than simply ‘crunching numbers and filling out forms’. It’s understanding board processes, director's obligations and the financial and legal implications of board decisions and public statements. It's providing guidance to the Board. It’s balancing shareholders needs and board initiatives with an eye to compliance and director exposure to personal liability.

It takes constant care, focus and attention to detail to navigate the legal constraints and listing rules common to ASX listed companies. Boards require a CFO and Company secretary that will find a way to realise these business goals and company direction whilst safe guarding the CEO and business.
