Will James MBA FCMA's Linkedin Analytics

As a Finance Change/Systems and Shared Services leader, I bring an exceptional commercial, practical, and detailed approach to embedding change and delivering finance transformation within global finance and finance shared services environments. USP is balancing short v long term - e.g. TCO approach to big decisions which are hard to change later. Also understanding end to end processes and how they impact different functions/stakeholders. I guide teams to design the future, deliver sustainable strategic change and scalable solutions to transform end-to-end processes. Analysing complex business problems is at the forefront of my work, often using data and metrics to back up assumptions and evaluate outcomes, whilst assessing cultural and people change considerations. Above all, I strive to drive collaborative relationships between cross-functional business areas (e.g. HR and IT) and possess an intuitive ability to spot dependencies and mitigate risks. Throughout the market I am known for my operational finance expertise and share knowledge as a finance transformation and global shared services thought leader.
