After determining what the company's expectations are of my role, I’m prepared to be a collaborator, consultant, communicator and strategic leader. I support client needs in all aspects of accounting and finance operations to ensure that key success factors are accomplished continuously and effectively. My approach usually includes:• Assert financial control – ensure the organization has a control system in place that works effectively and efficiently.• Manage liquidity and working capital – ensure the company has the funds to operate; is optimizing the use of its resources and increase the planning horizon for any shortfalls.• Ensure regulatory compliance – understand the rules that affect the business and ensure the company remains in compliance with them.• Be the steward of financial performance – this goes beyond issuing regular reports. The CFO/Controller must ensure the measuring and monitoring of all key success factors of the business and report on them. Also, work to determine the quality of those data points we do not control.• Carry out cost control and perform profit enhancement - offer multiple suggestions on how to reduce the cost of doing business and enhance the bottom line; stay focused on the broad strategic picture.• Be the builder of bridges - get the accounting staff out of their "silos" by building bridges with other parts of the organization which will increase communication and engagement.• Be advisors to management and the board - create value so that management and the board solicit advice on current operations and future planning.• Partner with operational managers - expect to be equal partners with other groups in the organization especially operations.
