Description
When you think of financial reporting and accounting presentations, storytelling probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Most finance professionals want to report the numbers, and then continue on with their lives.
But what if the WHY behind the numbers is just as important as the numbers themselves? What if storytelling is not only something that makes sense to focus on, but is something that you ought to be paying a lot more attention to than you are right now?
On this episode of CFO Weekly, our guest is Liz Barhydt. Liz is the Chief Financial Officer at Directive, a performance marketing agency specifically serving SaaS companies, helping them be better marketers, drive growth, and generate better return on their marketing dollars. But one of the most impactful things we discussed was the need for better storytelling when it comes to finance and accounting.

Embrace Change, Don’t Fear It w/ Jill Barnard: A famous Greek philosopher once said, “The only constant is change.” But most of us aren’t huge fans of change. We get upset when the grocery store changes their layout, or when our favorite app gets redesigned and we have to learn our way around it all over again. As a business leader, you’ve got the unique responsibility to help your organization navigate change, and never has that been more true than during the current COVID-19 pandemic. It seems like every aspect of life is changing every second right now. So how do you embrace change? How do you set your company culture up in such a way where change isn’t feared, but viewed as an opportunity for growth and development? On this episode of the CFO Weekly podcast, we talked with Jill Barnard, CFO at Televerde about -Managing for change, -How her company went fully remote within 24 hours -Why so many companies stick their heads in the sand and wait for the challenges to pass by. by CFO Weekly
