We love talking to our customers. In our recent Contractor CFO Fireside Chat, we got our customers together to talk to each other - and we were even more impressed. This group of CFOs had some valuable insights on the industry: 1.) Investing in change management is tough, but worth it when you are rolling out technology that provides transparency to the chaos. 2.) One piece of technology can’t do it all. What is important now is that your systems connect and actually help employees. 3.) People are imperative to the success of the business, and you need an edge when recruiting the next generation. 4.) The communication gap between office and field is undeniable, but can be solved. 5.) Profitability is up and contractors are busy. Every moment matters. Thank you to the CFOs for the lively discussion.

Can we talk about people vs numbers? In the hustle and bustle of the financial world, I spent years observing the toll high stress and stringent demands took on our accounting teams. The conflicting deadlines, rigid budgets, and relentless long hours created an environment that, while efficient in meeting objectives, often left our people feeling overwhelmed and burnt out. For the longest time the belief was that by driving our teams to meet ever-increasing targets and deadlines, we would naturally achieve greater financial success. The reality was different. The toll on mental health, the decline in team morale, and the high turnover rates painted a picture that was far from sustainable to long-term success. The turning point will come when we shift the focus from a relentless pursuit of numbers to a more people-centric approach. It is not about discarding deadlines or budgets but about recognizing that a team's well-being directly impacted the quality of their work. Promoting a culture of open communication, providing unconditional support, and actively acknowledging the efforts of each team member were among the first steps. And gradually, the atmosphere in the accounting department is shifting. The stress levels decreasing, collaboration flourishing, and, productivity begins to reflect a positive change. It is evident that a happy and supported team is a productive team. By fostering an environment that prioritized the needs and aspirations of our people, we will retain top talent and also see a surge in efficiency. This shift not only enhancing job satisfaction but also will bring out the best in each individual, creating a synergy that will directly impact the bottom line. I am confident that the journey from a numbers-centric to a people-centric approach is transformative. Its teaching me that, in the complex equation of financial success, the variable of human well-being is paramount. The lesson is clear: prioritize the people, and the numbers will follow. #accounting #leadership #Harristeeter
