There are a number of steps to take:
- before you move understand what best practice is in corporate finance. You will be surprised how little you know. Unless you have been one of the lucky ones to have audited three of more excellent finance teams.
- work out your own personal baggage and minimise it. All your flaws will be accentuated in a corporate role
- gather a cluster of mentors behind you
- study leadership and have a role model to copy
- your staff come first – whereas in audit the client is always first. Spend more one-to-one time with each staff person before you make any recruiting decisions. Understand them before you make a costly mistake.
