RISING AGAINST THE ODDS Our Team's Inspiring Comeback to Win the Best Finance Manager Award Our journey was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with twists and turns, but our passion for finance, innovative thinking, and collaboration propelled us forward. We transformed obstacles into opportunities, learned from failures, and celebrated milestones. This achievement reminds me that success is not final, failure is not fatal – it's the courage to continue that counts. I'm grateful for this journey, proud of my team, and inspired by the power of teamwork. #BestFinanceManagerAward #TeamWork #Perseverance #FinanceGame #SuccessStory #LeadershipLessons"

Sometimes looking back can be painful. Sometimes it can be exciting to see how far you’ve come. Most of the time, it’s a bit of both. Reflecting on my career as I’ve shifted into yet another stage, I'm grateful when I think about the very beginning. I’m thankful for the strong foundation I built in audit, IPO services, and M&A due diligence. These first experiences in the working world shaped me as a financial leader. The learning I was able to do with mentors and experts provided me with invaluable insights into risk management, financial reporting, and strategic decision-making. Which are the areas I am an expert in. It’s a full circle moment - when the mentee becomes the mentor. And now I look back at all my successes and failures knowing I needed all the experiences - both the painful and exciting ones - because each and every one of them has made me strong. To any financial pros out there building their foundation: Stay tuned for more content for early-stage finance teams. I’m going to help you get where you want to grow. #CFO #Finance #CareerJourney

As you are likely aware reading this, I am not a regular poster to LinkedIn. I have recently started a course that has encouraged me to celebrate myself and my unique approach to the world and to my work, so I wanted to take a bit of time out to look back and do just that. I would like to begin by reflecting on the recognition I received last year, which still surprises me. I had the privilege to receive three awards for my 2023 efforts: - Innovation Award: Recognized for my efforts in enhancing one of our key SOX control processes. - Finance Employee of the Year: This was determined by a vote among finance peers and it continues to astound me that I was chosen. - Limitless Award: I was honored to be selected by my sales colleagues as the finance team representative for this cross-functional recognition. Reflecting on the past several months, it's been a period of challenges in my team’s area, balancing support for key stakeholders amidst process inefficiencies. However, we have made significant strides in reshaping our approach to these obstacles, dedicating time to introspection and improvement for ourselves, our processes and our stakeholders. I am proud to be a key contributor to this project and look forward to the continuous improvement it will bring across 2024. #reflections #awards #financeexcellence #professionaldevelopment #innovation #continuousimprovement

🌅 Starting My Day with Purpose 🌅 In a recent conversation with CFO.com The 6AM CFO, I share a glimpse into how I structure my day. From my morning routine and lessons of resiliency, my journey is not just about building Fresh FP&A but building an impactful life. These three key takeaways conceptualize what I have learned to prioritize in my time: 1️⃣ Structured Daily Routine: I find that starting my day with a routine and ending my day with things I love, like hitting the gym, really helps me stay focused productive all day long. 2️⃣ Role of Passion: Working out isn't just good for my body, it helps me crush it at work too! 3️⃣ Influence of Family Background: I want to reflect on the profound impact my mother's sacrifices have had on me. She has instilled in me a strong work ethic and a deep sense of what truly matters. Join me in exploring how disciplined routines and personal passions can significantly shape our professional and personal growth!

Why don’t we talk more about how work impacts our personal lives? It’s not just about the hours we put in—it’s about how our work influences our relationships, mental health, and overall well-being. Our jobs are as much a part of our lives as family, and personal goals- and the three are deeply interconnected. At 1 Finance, I’ve seen a refreshing perspective where Keval Bhanushali (MLE℠) and Jeet Marwadi genuinely prioritize their team's work-life balance and recognise how personal life impacts an individual's ability at work and vice-versa. It is not just a buzzword; organisation's approach is reflected in how they encourage personal motivation and recognize that a fulfilled individual naturally performs better at work. Our team is dedicated to building a synergy where professional and personal life coexist meaningfully. It’s the kind of culture that enables you to grow. #WorkLifeBalance #PersonalGrowth #1Finance

A Journey of Self-Discovery After 3 years implementing a solution that delivered tremendous value, Anthony Perrozzi was eager to take on new challenges. But when redirected to his prior role, he knew it was time for change. Anthony told me all about his journey to become a finance transformation expert on this week's #growcfoshow: Being let go can feel like the end, but it was really just the beginning of my journey of self-discovery. I took some time to reflect: How could I ensure this never happens again? How could I find work that truly values all I have to offer? The answer became clear - I would venture out on my own. Though redundancy packages provide support, true freedom lies in being the master of your own destiny. With a new sense of purpose and opportunity before me, I took a contracting role and never looked back. My passion to continually learn and grow has opened countless doors. Have you faced an experience that set you on a new path? What did you learn about yourself along the way? I'm always looking to connect with fellow travelers on the journey of self-awareness. 🧭

🤔 Do you really not have enough time? Or is it a lack of prioritization? In this conversation with Katarina Polonska, we discussed time management and how it relates to business & relationships. How do we find a good balance? 1️⃣ Time Blocking: Budget Your Minutes. Treat your time like a financial resource and block out dedicated periods for strategic tasks and client relationship building. 2️⃣ Tech Time Savers: Automate the Mundane. Free yourself from repetitive tasks! Embrace technology and apps that streamline your workflow. 3️⃣ Boundaries for Balance: Work Smarter, Not Longer. Set clear boundaries between work hours and personal time. Communicate these expectations to your team and clients. ❓What are your thoughts? How do you balance your time and relationships #cfo #freshfpa #fractionalcfo #finance #insights #financeleaders #professionalgrowth #fpa #fpanda #business #virtualcfo #business #leadership #relationships #learning #knowledge #freshcfo
