text: The question doesn't make much sense - it's comparing apples to oranges.\n\nA stockholder, arguably, has one primary interest: to maximize the value of the equity they hold, and may or may not have any other relationship to the company whatsoever.\n\nA finance manager is typically employed by a company to ensure that the company uses its capital effectively. \n\nA stockholder would likely want the company within which they hold equity to have a good finance manager.   Other than that, I don't understand the question.
