CFO說(shuō)

Maviga CFO, Andrew Cooke

I like to set an environment where people know exactly what is required with a focus on quality of output. I aim to provide clear leadership but encourage discussion and feedback. I'm a pretty direct person and I don't like to waste time. As an FD, there are a lot of exciting opportunities to lead the development of the business. However, it's essential to always ensure that the core processes and controls are working properly and efficiently first. It's impossible to move forward if those fundamentals aren't right.

全球領(lǐng)先的干食用豆類和其他特色作物加工、貿(mào)易公司Maviga的CFO Andrew Cooke談到自己的管理風(fēng)格時(shí)說(shuō)，“我喜歡創(chuàng)建的工作環(huán)境是，在這種環(huán)境里，員工都知道哪些事對(duì)于產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量而言是極其重要的。我的目標(biāo)是在明確的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下鼓勵(lì)大家進(jìn)行討論和反饋。這樣的管理方式更高效、直接?！盋ooke對(duì)于財(cái)務(wù)總監(jiān)的建議是，“作為財(cái)務(wù)總監(jiān)，有很多寶貴機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)企業(yè)發(fā)展。但首先要始終確保核心流程和控制工作的正常有效性。如果這些基礎(chǔ)性工作是錯(cuò)誤的，企業(yè)是不可能向前發(fā)展的?！?/p>

Veolia UK CFO，David Gerrard

“I’m not going to be as excited about a new venture if it’s not going to make any money,” Gerrard says bluntly. “Most of them don’t in the early years and that’s fine; we model it like that. We’ve got set investment criteria, and I guess that’s another place where finance plays its part: in controlling the investment decision. They have to meet the criteria.

威立雅英國(guó)財(cái)務(wù)總監(jiān)David Gerrard談到財(cái)務(wù)指標(biāo)時(shí)坦率地說(shuō)，“我對(duì)沒(méi)有任何盈利性的冒險(xiǎn)沒(méi)有太多興趣。大多數(shù)投資機(jī)會(huì)在初期的確不可能盈利，這是很正常的。對(duì)此，我們制定了專門的投資標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，這也是財(cái)務(wù)發(fā)揮作用的地方：對(duì)投資決定進(jìn)行管理，投資決定必須符合投資標(biāo)準(zhǔn)?！?/p>

Fleet Advantage CFO, Brian Holland

Traditionally, the finance function has been relegated to keeping score, according to Holland. “I’m very operational minded, very entrepreneurial spirited, and so I want to be involved in helping to drive the future of the business” rather than just overseeing finance, he says. “You bring a lot more value by being outside of the financial domain.”

卡車租賃和大數(shù)據(jù)公司Fleet Advantage的總裁兼CFO Brian Holland認(rèn)為，傳統(tǒng)的財(cái)務(wù)功能往往被只是記錄數(shù)字而已?！岸业墓ぷ黠L(fēng)格是追求可操作性、鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)業(yè)精神，所以我要參與到推動(dòng)業(yè)務(wù)未來(lái)的發(fā)展當(dāng)中，而不僅僅是起到財(cái)務(wù)監(jiān)督的作用。跳出單純的財(cái)務(wù)工作，能夠?yàn)槠髽I(yè)創(chuàng)造更多價(jià)值。”
