How do you ensure finance doesn’t become the bottleneck? We’ve had to redefine what really needs finance review vs. what doesn’t.

Feels very company dependent. Candidly where I am now we review far too much and for such minimal impact. Some companies struggle to give actual responsibility to managers it seems these days, they act more like babysitters.

Something I see all the time. When finance becomes the hurdle instead of the helper, it is time to rethink the process. Looks different for everyone, but it can be a huge loss when it isn’t fixed.

My partner, a travel agent and reservations specialist, was displaced over a year ago when COVID hit. She has booked millions worth of product and it’s been painful to witness her recovery in finding a job she’s happy with.

Any recommendations for people like her? I suggested starting her own business as a travel consultant assisting other travel companies with their bookings, etc.

She’s incredibly talented and I’d appreciate any ideas I could relay to her. Thanks!

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)?

My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
