#106: Finance Co-Pilots Better Servicing Business with Arno Wakfer

As a finance professional are you simply a passenger in your business or a co-pilot? By that I mean are you like a passenger who sits there, behind your desk or in a row of desks, producing reports & analyses, or do you get up out from behind your desks, walk up to the decision makers, engage with them to understand their business, their challenges and implications for the future and in effect be their co-pilot in creating even more value for the business? These are just some of the areas our guest mentor Arno Wakfer and I cover together on our latest podcast. We also cover • Arno shares a story why he wished he had a mentor after he qualified • His seven learnings (value drivers) accountants get when running their own business. • Why reporting isn’t adding value and why Arno is excited about automation. • Why finance professionals need to be visible and how Arno does this • Arno shares a story of the best criticism he ever received and how it helped him.
