Our products have been developed by a world-class engineering team that simplifies complex business problems to a degree where adoption is effortless.

As finance leaders, we're responsible for the commercial success of the business - that starts with Managers up through Chief Financial Officer.

• This Is Your Business - Think as though this is your business.
  • What is keeping you up? What do you need to fix? What do we need to get ahead of? Let that serve as your to-do list.
  • What about the P&L?
    • What will grow top line revenue?
    • What new initiatives can we launch?
    • Why are the costs as high as they are? What can we cut?
    • No Mountain Is Too High and No Valley Too Low - Whatever needs to be fixed, you're now the fixer. Like we said, this is your company.
    • Fix The Issues Before They Arise -
      • This is your business. What do you need to get ahead of and fix before it is too late? Best do it before, rather than after.
      • In addition, Our CEO once told me that he felt Slack was one of the best tools that you could have in a startup. It was akin to having the best pilots be able to make adjustments for every fighter pilot, because the best pilot is able to observe everything live. Add yourself to support groups, understand the struggles and go fix the root cause.
      • A Higher Calling - You are the right hand of many on the Leadership Team. There will always be special initiatives that you will be called upon to execute in addition to all your normal duties.
      • You Get a Business Partner, You Get A Business Partner! - You are the business partner for every department. You are there to help make them successful. As I mentioned above, we're uniquely suited to be operations' business partner because of our skillsets, understanding of the organization, and ability to get things accomplished.
        • Notice I said partner, and not dictator. In order to accomplish this, you'll need to develop and maintain a strong relationship with team members across all areas of the organization.
        • A Paragon of the Culture - As a leader, you have to set an example for others - how you treat others, how you perform your work will set the tone for others, etc. If you're unresponsive, others will take away that it's fine to be unresponsive.
        • Complete Understanding of The Business - Do you understand the business? Functions? Names? Or are you just being back-office support? Without a full understand of the business, how do you make decisions or help people make decisions?
        • Understand That Very Few People Will Care About The Business More Than You - If not you, then who? What are you waiting for?
