Who Am I?

I’m Anders Liu-Lindberg, Partner and CCO at Business Partnering Institute. I work with senior finance and FP&A leaders across Europe to elevate the role of finance. This means greater impact, stronger business partnerships, and more informed decisions through modern planning and reporting practices.

Formerly with Maersk, I’ve spent the last 10+ years bridging the gap between finance and business as a speaker, advisor, content creator, and interim leader. Whether it’s defining a new operating model, redesigning reporting, or leading from within, I bring both vision and execution to the table.

What We Do at Business Partnering Institute

We help companies build finance teams that matter, both inside and outside the room, at the table, and in the decisions. We’re hands-on, shoulder-to-shoulder, and always focused on real business outcomes.

Interim Finance Leadership
Step-in support for critical roles like VP Finance, Business Partner, or Controller, fast onboarding, and full ownership.

Consulting Projects
From planning & forecasting to reporting frameworks and service delivery models, we design, implement, and embed.

Learning & Upskilling
Tailored learning journeys that transform business partners into trusted advisors covering people, business, and leadership skills.

Why Reach Out?

Whether you're gearing up for the next budget cycle, scaling your finance team, or rethinking the role of business partnering, I’d love to hear where you’re headed.

We work across industries and company sizes, always tailoring our approach to your unique context. And we’re proud to see our clients succeed long after we’ve stepped away.

The tides of change are flowing into the finance function which sends the function into the age of 4.0. We say it is "Enabled by tech - Driven by people". 

At Born Capital, we focus on tech enablement and are looking for early-stage startups in what we call #CFOTech that will enable the finance function to become a profit driver. We have a keen interest in FP&A and Business Finance as this is where we see the biggest improvement potential.

Actually, CFOs themselves know this as 71% of them are not happy with the performance of their FP&A team despite significant investments made in the past decade. We will help the office of the CFO get the right tech and tools to step up to the plate and deliver on the expectations of the CEO and other CXOs.

Feel free to reach out if you would like to know more about how we can help your start-up to the next level...

Most financial analysis fails for a simple reason: people jump to ratios before they understand the business.

Financial analysis is not a spreadsheet exercise. It’s a decision-making discipline.

Here are 13 steps I’ve found helpful to keep analysis practical, structured, and connected to what matters:

	1.	Get the financial statements
	2.	Build business understanding
	3.	Clean and organize the data
	4.	Calculate the right ratios
	5.	Analyze trends over time
	6.	Benchmark against peers
	7.	Assess profitability drivers
	8.	Evaluate liquidity position
	9.	Review cash flow and free cash flow
	10.	Recommend actions
	11.	Write a clear report
	12.	Present the story behind the numbers
	13.	Update regularly

A few observations from working with CFOs and finance teams:

Step 2 is usually the biggest differentiator. If you don’t understand the business model and value drivers, the numbers will mislead you.

Step 10 is where many analyses stop too early. Insight without action is just commentary.

Step 13 is underrated. Analysis isn’t a one-off. It’s a feedback loop.

If you want better financial analysis, focus less on technical complexity and more on structure, clarity, and decisions.

Which step do you see finance teams skipping most often?
