#054: Walking the Shop Floor to Become a Trusted Finance Professional

Picture the scenario, you're new to a role in an established company, and although you know you're starting with zero credibility with your stakeholders even worse you find out they have an already extremely low regard and distrust for the Finance and Accounting team. What do you do? and, Where do you begin? Well our guest mentor Robin Kiziak has been there and not only successfully answered this question and made a real meaningful impact for this business but he also found himself stepping outside his comfort zone to do so. He shares with us his story, some very practical advice we can all benefit from as well as some key points around: • How to practically develop the confidence to build relationships, particularly where we’ve not been used to doing this before; • How we can do some simple things to scale our impact; and • A story on how to improve the perception other teams might have of Finance.
