One of the most rewarding aspects of my role as Finance Director is the opportunity to act as a strategic business partner. Effective business partnering goes beyond managing financial data—it’s about working hand-in-hand with teams across the organization to drive decision-making and achieve collective success. When finance teams collaborate closely with business operations, HR, IT and other functions, we can unlock insights that lead to smarter strategies and sustainable growth. Business partnering means embedding finance into the heart of the business, ensuring that every decision is grounded in solid financial reasoning while remaining aligned with broader organizational goals. Building these relationships requires trust, open communication, and a deep understanding of each department’s challenges and objectives. By fostering these partnerships, we enable more informed, agile, and impactful decision-making that benefits the entire organization. #BusinessPartnering #StrategicFinance

Not uncommon for agencies with up to $5M-$10M in revenue to not have a senior finance staff person. What often happens is they hire or elevate an operations role (COO) and that person also oversees finance. Or have someone on staff with a CFO title that splits their time between finance, operations, sales management, and the list goes on. Fractional roles provide a solution to segment out specific needs without having to hire a full time person until it makes sense.

You are in a senior leadership team of the company. What is more important while hiring a mid-senior financial planning and analysis (FP&A) candidate? Is it the analytical and business knowledge or the presentation and communications skills with limited analytical and business knowledge? Who would add more value to business the former or the later? #hiring #leadershipskills #financialplanning #cfo #analyticalskills #communicationskills #presentation #businessknowledge

Most CEOs think hiring a CFO will solve ALL their financial problems. Spoiler: It won't. When operations get complex, a lone CFO isn't enough. Here’s what you actually need: A CPA ➝ To ensure compliance. A bookkeeper ➝ To keep records organized. A financial controller ➝ To manage reporting and controls. A data science team ➝ To analyze financial and non-financial data. Each specialist adding their unique expertise. All dancing together, in sync. Remember: You need a team, not just a title. P.S: Still unsure if you need a CFO or not? Let's have a chat and clarify everything: https://buff.ly/3Yl9CKK
