#130: Solving For The Pervasiveness Of Spreadsheets in Finance with Brian Donnelly

When it comes to your spreadsheets do you have a good one version of the truth? Because given the use of spreadsheets in Finance are so pervasive we can really hurt our credibility as accountants and finance professionals if we don’t have the right numbers. That’s why we're joined by today’s guest mentor Brian Donnelly who leads a fintech company and who shares many stories from his customer encounters (who are mainly accountants and finance leaders) as to how to overcome some of the challenges with the pervasiveness of spreadsheets both on the technology & process sides as well as more importantly with our people. We also discuss: • The two minimum criteria to look for when hiring in great people. • Why the entire world of Finance is built upon spreadsheets and the tension between Finance & IT. • Why Finance is guilty of underselling its impact.
