Hi! – I’m here! I’m Lynne, I’ve been working in finance for getting on for 25 years, and I’ve always been an advocate for system & process improvement. I saw an advert for the GENCFO Digital Finance Function Awards (the ‘Gennys’!) earlier this year, put my team up for SME Finance Team of the Year, and we won, which was amazing. That’s how I got involved with GENCFO initially, but now I’ve come to see it as my ‘tribe’. I think everyone who’s here, is here because they want to communicate & collaborate with other finance professionals striving for better understanding and use of technology, to enable us to spend less time transacting & more time on business partnering and decision support. Please feel free to connect with me – let’s talk! ????

Tried to edit my original post but I don’t have the option, so here’s my ‘give’ & ‘need’ bits!
What I’d like to give: I’m always happy to share an opinion on anything to be honest! For most of my career I’ve been the go-to person for Excel questions, but these days I am more about encouraging people to use new, more tailored tools designed for purpose, like e.g. visualisation tools like Power BI/Looker/Tableau. To that end, I could share some of what I’ve implemented in terms of visualisation tools for financial management, for example.
What I need: To know whether what I’m doing in the day-to-day is aligned with community consensus on best practice in any given finance discipline – reporting, reconciliation, forecasting etc… I generally land in a job and find myself making quite isolated decisions about what’s best to do, in finance ops terms. Often there’s no-one more experienced in finance tech than me there, and most of the content on LinkedIn, whilst it looks useful, is actually quite vague and generic. What are people *really* doing, in practice, that’s what I want to know. Am I way behind, way ahead, somewhere in the middle, or completely off-script?!?
