EP 5 - Anders Liu-Lindberg, The Future of Finance Business Partnering, how to add value through finance

This week on the Key Figures Podcast, I am joined by Anders Lindberg, co-founder of the Business Partnering Institute, otherwise known as BPI. We discussed an important topic which every finance person should be thinking of, which is how to add value through Finance Business Partnering.It’s clear FP&A is at a cross-roads with the business demanding more, but shared service centres being outsourced and even going off-shore and the abundance of other tasks that also need to be done.We cover how to stay relevant in this important role to help guide the business in taking the right decisions.We then move on to unpack what it takes to really add value as an FP&A professional and what it means for any organisation to move towards real business partnering.It’s now obvious that the classic image of a finance professional being stuck behind their desk is over,but what key skills are needed moving forward to really add value.This episode is clearly for the all finance professionals working closely with the business, be it as a business controller, Finance manager, finance director to the CFO.Anders is crystal clear on how he sees the world evolving within business partnering.He has an impressive 45 000 followers on Linkedin. Anders knows his stuff underpinned by his long career at the Danish maritime power house Maersk.
