Here's Why You'll Want To Work With Me
I'm Kathryn Birchwood, Finance Process Improvement Consultant.
As a former Controller, I've run an accounting department myself.
So I can relate to the challenges you're facing, because I've faced them as well.
BUT...I also know that many of your challenges can become relics of the past - when things are set up right.
How do I know? From 17+ years on a wide variety of Finance department projects, involving:
-
Business process analysis, design and improvement.
-
Financial system implementation and optimization, including system selection.
-
Expedited financial closing, consolidation and reporting.
Working with cross-functional business processes, and financial systems as complex as SAP and as do-it-yourself as NetSuite, I've guided organizations in multiple industries in refining their processes, optimizing their systems and streamlining their financial close.
And I can help you to attain the same outcomes.
In addition to my years of wide-ranging experience, I bring personal traits to the table that clients appreciate:
Proactive Problem-Solving
I assess the effect of decisions and I’m able to foresee likely problems that others don’t see - so you can avoid them, or work around them.
Problems Averted = Time & Effort Saved.
Laser-Targeted Execution
I keep you and your team focused and moving towards the ultimate goal. I ensure that things get done, and that they're done once and well - because rework isn't good use of anyone's time.
Strategic Influence
I identify what’s happening and why, propose solutions and persuasively support you on the course of action best suited to your strategic goals. I see what you don't have time to see.
To be honest, I'm NOT your typical consultant, who will tell you what you want to hear.
I'm your advisor - so I may tell you what you may not want to hear...gently and with good humour.
And you'll be glad I did (as you chuckle).
Because with your important goals to be achieved, you'll agree that it's better to know than not - so we can deal with it.
