Building a Better Relationship Between Finance and Operations

21 minutes

Finance has become more and more strategic in driving the high level vision and direction of companies across nearly every industry. We’ve seen a huge increase in the way that CFOs interact with and support the various lines of business, particularly with the operations teams.

But how do finance teams make the importance of what they do understandable to those in the operations teams? How can the teams work together to drive the strategic vision of the company? How do finance and operations work avoid being a hindrance to one another and become a collaborative effort instead?

On this week’s episode of CFO Weekly, our guest is Charles Liu. Charles is the EVP and Head of Finance for Hawke Media, a full-service marketing consulting firm based in Los Angeles, working with clients all over the world.

Our conversation centered around:

How finance can foster a better relationship with the operations teams

Why communication cannot be underestimated

Why you can’t worry about being the bad guy, or the good guy.

Helping the operations team to make sense of the financial side of the business
