Synopsis

Is the finance seat helping your business grow, or holding it back?

You started your business with vision, determination, and the instincts to make good decisions quickly. But then your company grew.

• The numbers grew larger and more complex.
• Cash flow became less predictable.
• New opportunities opened up along with new risks.
• Every decision carried more weight.

Despite all of the reports and people you have around you now versus when you started, you might actually feel less sure about where your business really stands financially.

In The Finance Seat, Kieran James, Lisa Eccles, and Jamie Whelan share decades of experience helping hundreds of growing businesses gain clarity over their financial foundation and improve leadership alignment.

Utilising the SHIFT Framework®, a step-by-step approach for creating a finance organisation that does more than churn out reports and ensure compliance, this practical guide will give you clarity on how to transform finance into a strategic advantage for your business, whether you’re a founder, Visionary, Integrator, business owner, or finance leader.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Diagnose hidden weaknesses in your finance function so you can fix problems before they become expensive
• Build the right finance team for your business’s specific stage of growth so the right people are in the right seats
• Improve cash flow visibility, forecasting, and planning so you spend less time guessing and more time making confident decisions
• Use finance as a leadership tool to support better business strategy, stronger execution, and sustainable growth

With real-world examples, practical frameworks, and hard-earned lessons from businesses across a variety of industries, The Finance Seat will help you understand not just where your business stands today, but what it’s going to take to grow your business and reach your goals tomorrow.

It’s time to build the financial clarity you need to lead with confidence, control, and direction.
