Work settings are likely to vary in finance positions. The best candidates are those who can move seamlessly from independent tasks to acting as a beneficial member of a team. If you excel at a variety of work styles, be sure you’re accurately displaying these styles throughout the hiring process.

I believe there are two questions embedded in your original question: Qualities and qualifications of a good manager and the same for a finacial expert.

 

Good Managers shoud be: Knowledgeable, Lead by example, Fair, Charistmatic and Inspirational

Financial Experts should be: Witty and obsessed with figures, Punctual and respects Deadlines, Rational and Strategical Thinker, Unbiased with no Fear to give his imparial opinion and Honest

Put both traits together and you will have an Avatar of a perfect Financial Manager

I guess knowledge and loyalty are most needed traits. Qualifications wise A Bachelor degree and a CFA degree should qualify a person to become a good manager however this may not be true all the time
