I had finance as a sort of throw in team I supported. Not much, then the pandemic hit. We dealt with lots of retailers so a ton of bankruptcy issues (letters of credit, deposit agreements, trying to avoid preference payment claw backs). It was all new to me but interesting. Add in some collection issues and pre-litigation letter writing and you have yourself a random mix. There can also be tax and audit questions and some overlap with SOX compliance if you are publicly traded.

How big is your company?

Depends what you support. Most should be straightforward and like working with any other team, finance isn't rocket science.

Kind of depends on how leveraged your company is, whether your company is investment grade or not, or if your company is active in the derivatives market. I worked for companies where it was a full time job and companies where it was a part time job.
