What is a business? What is an accountant? If you’ve ever asked these questions to a classroom full of 10- and 11-year olds you get a load of hands go up, they’re bursting to throw something out there, even if it’s a guess or not. I love that curiosity and eagerness to learn.

Have you ever heard of the planning fallacy and how it could be hurting your impact? In Finance we do a lot of planning of budgets, close cycles, payment runs, etc… , but there are so many more tasks that we need to plan to do that it sometimes feels that there are simply not enough hours in the day. Without proper awareness and management of this planning fallacy it could be seriously holding us back from not only enjoying our work but also from making a bigger impact? In this bite-sized episode I explore some thoughts on what the planning fallacy is and how we can actually use it to our advantage. #FinanceMentor #SITN #PlanningFallcy

What does it mean to be Diplomatic in Finance? When you hear the word Diplomacy it conjures up images of government or state officials negotiating and influencing outcomes. Sometimes these diplomatic acts make the news such as the well-publicised Trade Wars between the US & China or how to coordinate nations to better deliver on climate change targets, although most go unreported. So I was a bit taken aback when someone said they thought I had been diplomatic during the week, because I didn’t really think of our work like that and also I didn’t deliberately know how to be diplomatic. So In this bite-sized episode I explore some thoughts on as what diplomacy might look like in Finance and how we can get better at it. #FinanceMentor #SITN #Diplomacy

#275: Monday Memo: Why do most finance transformations fail? by Andrew Codd

Is Cash Really King? We’ve a saying in Finance that cash is king. There have been many profitable businesses, with great growth potential but ultimately went bankrupt because they did not have enough cash at the bank. However is this always the case?

How do CFOs and Finance leaders decide on who and where to hire into their finance organisations? Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you’re well aware of the rate of change impacting many of our enterprises and industries. And, of the many jobs within these organisations, one of them in particular has become much more demanding, the role of CFO and their finance team, who are responsible for ensuring that the organisation they serve is growing both sustainably and profitably. In this bite-sized episode I share some thoughts on this conversation and how to answer this question. #FinanceMentor #SITN #CFO

What’s one of the biggest fallacies in business & finance and which is holding our performance back? It’s that performance & results of both staff and enterprises follows a normal bell-curve distribution! It simply doesn’t! Intuitively we know this because 50% of newly registered businesses will fail in 5 years following an exponential Paretian power curve, 5 companies make up 18% of the stock market value in the US, and on sports teams most of the money goes to those who generate the most value with most of us earning below the average. In any endeavor there are those who smash performance out of the park and then the rest of us, or as some call the long tail. In this bite-sized episode I explain why so many of us continue to use the normal distribution fallacy and a more appropriate way of looking at this. #FinancialMentor #SITN #Performance

What’s your finance team’s business model? How would you describe it to colleagues? How do you know it’s not outdated and designed to meet tomorrow’s needs & expectations? Most of our audience are either part of a finance team or lead a finance team, but when I’ve asked them to explain their business model, that is, the rationale behind how their team creates, delivers and captures value, few can answer in a consistent and coherent fashion, even though they know finance & accounting inside-out. And because everybody in the team does not have a common understanding of their basic business model this means there are many finance teams out there who are not pulling in the same direction, not delivering the value their capable of and so at risk of gradually become irrelevant within their organisations. In this bite-sized episode I introduce a powerful yet simple tool to help better understand, improve and communicate a finance team’s business model to give you and your team a comparative advantage in today’s and tomorrow’s organisations. #FinancialMentor #SITN #BusinessModel

What message is the sentence below trying to convey? REVUP5%WITHNOPATINLINEAT10M. How about if we add some spaces: REV UP 5% WITH NOPAT IN LINE AT 10M. Or even more useful in something resembling plain English: Rev(enue) is up 5% (on something) with NOPAT (Net Operating Profit After Tax) in line (with something) at 10 m(illion). In this Monday’s bite-sized episode I share that whilst it’s important to simplify what we do it’s just as important not to oversimplify, and I go through 4 things we can do to get the balance right. #FinancialMentor #SITN #Simplify

Do you keep supermarket lists or batch your shopping for food only when you need it? Most do! Most of us don’t immediately drive or run to the store each time we run out of a kitchen item. It’s inefficient use of our time. However many finance professionals will still succumb to the mental craving of answering those emails and IMs, or jumping on that last minute meeting rather than be out of sync? In this bite-sized episode we go through the dangers of always being in sync and a number of ways finance professionals are managing this in a more virtual and remote environment. #FinancialMentor #SITN #Async

In the Moment - CEO or Operations Manager? Which are you?When you’re running a business, it’s easy to lose sight of the role you have in the business. We have CEO as a title, but our jobs are more aligned with that of an Operations Manager. We’re doing the tasks instead of focusing on strategic growth and actions surrounding it. It’s time to make a mindset shift and actions shift into being a true CEO and see the results we want for our businesses and lives.

With many businesses recently closing their doors and essential services struggling to keep going, what kinds of actions are CFOs & finance teams taking within their organizations to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic? I’ve been compiling a number of resources from conversations I’ve been having with CFOs and I share them with you on today’s bite-sized episode. #FinancialMentor #SITN #Covid19 https://www.ted.com/talks/bill_gates_the_next_outbreak_we_re_not_ready?language=en#t-9886

In times when things do not go your way what do you do? In Finance one of our key assets is our access to decision-makers and broad visibility of what is going on across most of our organisations and industries, but sometimes we can spend so much time analysing data that we can slow down decision makings too much. So on the odd occasion when our advice does not get taken on board leading to the wrong decision what do you do? I came across a wonderful saying from a German colleague recently that is perfect for such situations and I share this with you on today’s bite-sized episode. The proverb by the way is: “Es wird nichts so heiß gegessen, wie es gekocht wird,” literally, “Nothing is eaten as hot as it is cooked.” #FinancialMentor #SITN #Influence

How did you rate yourself? If I asked you to imagine yourself on a tropical deserted island. The sky is clear. The wind is calm. The sea is smooth. You will be on this island for only a few minutes, don’t worry. Imagine now that you arrived on this island without any roles. Roles such as husband, wife, CEO, accountant, sales manager, engineer, golfer, fisherman, and so on, do not exist on this island. Now, using the scale that follows, rate yourself without any roles. Zero is the lowest end of the scale, and 10 is the highest end. Where do you rate yourself on that scale? What value do you place on yourself without any of the roles that you play out in life? Go ahead and mark the scale now. How did you rate yourself? This is not an uncommon question and in this bite-sized episode I outline the importance of the question, the right answer and how it can help you achieve a more meaningful, rewarding and successful career in accounting & finance. #FinancialMentor #SITN #Identity
