Financial management beyond the numbers. The role of finance professionals in an organization has evolved from simply managing accounts and tracking expenses to balancing analytical thinking and strategic execution, making them pivotal players in business strategy and decision-making. Throughout my professional journey, I have driven organizational growth by aligning financial performance with long-term business goals, focusing on: 👉 Business efficiency – Optimizing resources and processes to boost efficiency without compromising on quality. 👉 Data as a strategic tool – Analyzing financial trends to help make informed decisions that drive the company forward. 👉 Proactive cash flow management – A proactive approach ensures operational needs are well covered while investing in future growth opportunities. 👉 Collaboration Across Departments – Finance is no longer a back-office function,working closely with other departments ensures alignment with the company’s financial goals and strategic priorities. 👉 Strategic Risk Management & Compliance – Ensuring compliance while identifying potential financial risks to enable business sustainability. I am excited to explore new opportunities where I can leverage my experience in finance and accounting to help organizations achieve their strategic goals.

Different companies need different Finance departments. Some companies will need Finance to act like policeman and strong gatekeepers. Some companies will need Finance to have a light touch. Some companies will need Finance to focus on controlling, others on business partnering and decision making and others on fundraising. It's important that the Finance team is right for the time. Great Finance teams are built with people who are resilient and flexible and can operate successfully across time as the company's needs change. Some people can't do this and can't operate through the changes over time. That's OK - those people are still valuable finance professionals, they personally and the leaders, need to understand that and together make sure they are best placed to thrive, whether in their current role/company or in a different place at a different stage where their skills, talents and experience will be best utilized.

As an executive, I thrive on helping others succeed. This is a non-negotiable for me. Why? Because we always remember “great numbers.” But we often forget there are “greater people” behind those “great numbers.” Great people like: 1. Our loyal customers 2. Our hardworking team 3.

If you’re a Finance Executive running a company or nonprofit, there is a certain issue that could be costing 💸💸 your organization. That issue is a lack of collaboration between your finance and operations team. I have seen valuable missed financial opportunities💰when Finance teams and Operations teams do not communicate effectively, or they work in “silos.” Here are reasons these teams should collaborate more: ✅The organization might be missing out on potential business ventures 💵. ✅ The organization might be losing out on improving processes, so missing out on cost savings 💲💲. ✅It is a healthy business practice because it allows for more accurate and timely cash forecasting 📈. Here's how to collaborate better: ✅Use project management tools to coordinate mutual projects between teams and to provide live dashboards 📊 with information. ✅Meet as necessary 📅 and have open communication between the teams. ✅Consistent reconciliation between the data housed between both teams. By collaborating more, finance and operations teams can "get on the same page," share data and insights, and can use technology to drive innovation. #finance #accounting #innovation Array Accounting & Consulting, LLC
