The modern-day finance leader needs to embed finance into all activities of the business.

The following video is an extract from a workshop led by Susana Serrano-Davey, who talks about the importance of using numbers to support business activities:

Numbers are the compass to help us move in the right direction.

The days of finance simply being a bookkeeper are long gone and finance leaders need to use their awareness of the numbers to become a significant contributor within the management team.

Finance leaders should use data to analyse activities, fix operational issues and influence decisions.
