Director of Finance Jobs in Connecticut

A Director of Finance plays a crucial role in the finance industry by overseeing all financial activities, planning for long-term financial goals, and generating financial reports. They assess and manage financial risks, supervise cash management activities, develop financial strategies, and ensure adherence to budgets.
