"Business Partnering & Putting the Cool into Number-Crunching" with Andi Lonnen of Finance Training Academy (Leeds, UK). GBD18

"What's ordinary to accountants is extraordinary to everyone
else...and that's your unique skill-set".


In addition to her work with AICPA & CIMA's CPD
Academy programmes, Andi Lonnen is a qualified ACCA, a financial
trainer, a speaker, and an author. She makes a difference to her
clients by making finance fun for business
professionals!


Research carried out for CIMA’s report Ready for business:
bridging the employability gap (February 2014) identified
that today’s finance professionals need more than just the
technical skills required to produce accounting and financial
information but also the ability to lead and influence people
within the organisation. 


That's why our guest's insights are so timely. Andi tells
episode-host Peter Biggenden (AICPA & CIMA, London) about
bridging the "knowing-doing" gap, the power of online media,
webinars and podcasts as professional development tools, and the
transformation offered by moving from service-provision to
business partnering.


WE DISCUSS:


sharing best practices for webinars gained from working with
the CPD Academy programme

delivering effective online learning without worrying about
the tech

appreciating the unique abilities and skills of those in the
accounting profession

finance for non-finance professionals

being what accountants are born to be, and doing what they're
born to do: add value
