Financial Leadership

Finance is more than a cost-centre

The very best Finance Organizations are VALUE-CREATORS and VALUE-PROTECTORS, and do not just focus on transactions, accounting and compliance

The best Finance Professionals are Business Partners with the Founders, Board, C-suite management, Sales / Marketing / Compliance / IT / HR / etc… and have a broad understanding of the business and how activities of each division & department translate to financial success of the Company


“A leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”

— John C. Maxwell

In the past 15 years, I’ve witnessed multiple Finance Transformation efforts fail due to poor leadership

Whether it was implementing a new accounting system, financial planning tool, or the re-organization of entire finance teams - Several factors stood out that are red-flags of poor finance leadership:

  • Top-down directives from CxOs, without consideration of middle manager & lowest-level staff inputs

  • HQ has a smart idea of rolling out a new sexy initiative, but fails to consider the complexity it brings to Regions, Sub-regions and Affiliates

  • Improper ROI analysis done on the new finance initiative, leading to astronomical implementation costs, excessive recurring per-user access costs and annually-increasing system/platform maintenance costs - finally resulting in the need to “scrap” the entire project

  • Poor management buy-in (usually from non-finance business partners / divisions) at the start of the finance implementation project, resulting in eventual under-utilization of platforms / reports / services - again leading to discontinuation and waste of resources (Time & Energy invested)

  • Poorly led use-case exploration and implementation of finance projects that result in massive re-work / contract variation orders from IT / Finance system vendors to roll-back the implementation or do last-minute add-ons

  • Creative Senior Finance Leadership trying to re-organize entire finance teams due to cost-minimization KPIs or to streamline finance operations, only for it to backfire due to miscalculated work-load allocations and overly-zealous Finance FTE reductions

  • Poor Leadership and communication (with respect to Change management) by the chain of command which results in the lower level staff not understanding the “WHYs” behind the change and end up losing faith in Finance Leadership

Avoid such leadership pitfalls by engaging someone who has been through similar implementations, has proven project-management experience and the inspirational leadership needed to manage the change efforts
