Making the jump into financial leadership seems daunting. The opportunity and need is there, but your time is maxed. At small companies, financial leaders wear many hats. You're very involved in the day-to-day accounting, but what leaders are asking for seems "above" you. But there's really nobody between you and them. The kind of requests you get seem like distractions. You have to stop what you're doing and dig in. Pick up/put down. Wasted time. You wonder if there's a better way. If you build a system around all that you do, there is. When set up correctly, you can go from: Reactionary to proactive Incompetent to confident Overwhelmed to in control Even where you're at now, you can build out an accounting & finance system that can fit the needs of your company yet still be within your time constraints. I call it the CFO System. More to come.

Constantly changing is good for growth

Exciting news from Calibre Systems! They've promoted a financial veteran, Kristen McLeod, to the roles of CFO and EVP. With 20 years' experience spanning companies like Lockheed Martin, McLeod's appointment strengthens Calibre's commitment to strategic leadership and financial stewardship. This raises an interesting question for business owners and entrepreneurs: how strong is your financial leadership? Strong financial management can transform your business into a more stable, robust partner, and provide insights to drive business growth. It's an aspect often overlooked yet essential for scaling and sustainability. Do you feel confident in your financial leadership? Or has it become an afterthought amid the daily hustle of entrepreneurship? Maybe it's time to reflect on your company strategies, perhaps with a fresh and professional perspective. Feel free to connect with me for a strategic financial consultation that could steer your business towards a solid financial future. #BusinessConsulting #FinancialLeadership #Entrepreneur.

Finance teams often carry the weight of late-night deadlines. Michael Sumruld, CFO of Parker Wellbore, shared an experience from his earlier career that highlights the unyielding commitment expected of finance professionals: Finalizing a divisional plan one late night, he told the president, “You have to go home. We still have two hours of work after you leave.” That moment reinforced the critical role of finance leadership. The president respected the team’s input, left, and the plan was delivered on time. Finance often works behind the scenes, yet is indispensable to success. Long hours, tight deadlines, and commitment define finance excellence. The reward? Delivering results that drive organizations forward. #CFOTHOUGHTLEADER #FinanceLeadership #CareerGrowth CFO THOUGHT LEADER 🎙️I am a magazine editor turned podcaster. 📣 I elevate the voice of finance leadership. 👣 Follow me: JACK SWEENEY 🐖 The ☘ translation for Sweeney is “swine herder” (literally).
