SUMMARY:Webinar: Lean Financial Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Lean financial leadership is how the lean accounting work of individuals is connected to that of accounting teams and ultimately to the rest of the organization. \n\n\n\nWhen we talk about lean financial leadership\, we’re not just talking about the CFO\, we’re talking about all of accounting’s interactions with the rest of the company\, its customers and external stakeholders. Whether you’re a financial analyst\, staff accountant\, payroll specialist\, billing team supervisor or finance executive\, you have a “lean financial leadership” role.  \n\n\n\nLean financial leadership is strategic in nature because it will define the role of lean accounting in the lean company.
