Most finance organisations today are truly busy…., but unfortunately too many are busy going nowhere. Stuck in a hamster wheel of day-to-day operations, they fail to develop and deliver the impact and influence on decision making that most business leaders expect. And that is truly a shame, because the potential is there…., just waiting to be unfolded.
The key differentiator? Not systems, nor processes or outsourcing. The secret ingredients essentially boils down to people…, and leadership. Setting a clear and bold ambition, getting your people on-board, building capabilities and a business partnering mindset – and making it stick!. Sounds easy? It is not, but when you decide to do it, the impact is significant. And with a limited investments, this really is the basket you want to put your eggs in.
And this is what I do – my passion. I help and coach finance organisation transform to increase impact.
As head of Finance Transformation in Deloitte, I have been privileged to design and executive many transformations.
As Finance manager in the industry, I have led transformations from the inside.
As independent advisor, I work closely alongside organisations, supporting them on the journey. And seeing the impact that this creates, it what gets me up in the morning.
I specialise in three areas:
- Finance Transformation: Help defining finance strategies and secure successful execution hereof.
- Business Partnering: Setting up organisation, processes and building capabilities to make an impact with business partnering - not the highflying stuff, but practical advises based on practical experiences
- Interim finance and project Management: Driving change from the inside – taking lead of project management or temporary management positions.
