Being a finance master and the role of finance business partnering

Session overview

The finance function is changing and you need to change too! Hiding behind your screen doing analysis in Excel all day long without ever talking to people in the business is a no-go. You need to get up from your desk and have real conversations with your stakeholders about how you can help improve business performance. No more working with data, reports and analysis.

You need to share insights which your stakeholders didn’t know to influence their decision-making ultimately impacting the bottom-line. That’s what business partnering is all about. The fact is, that if you don’t impact value creation in your company you’ll likely be out of a job soon due to automation, outsourcing or offshoring. There’s never been a clearer call to action!
