Finance professionals must have a mindset shift from mere number-crunching to acting as strategic advisors, providing firms with insights that create long-term value, according to Ayobami Ishola, an author and finance expert.
Ishola argued that moving away from the traditional finance to finance business partnering is “a business imperative for companies aiming to thrive in an increasingly complex and data-driven world.”
The book, ‘The Strategic Finance Business Partner’, launched recently in Lagos, examines ways finance professionals can stay ahead of the curve by adopting data, storytelling, and business acumen to influence decisions.
