Siemens Gamesa

A Snapshot of Your Day

You kick off your day as Head of Accounting Services Europe by meeting with your direct reports, to discuss the state of the transition, the latest team updates, and strategic initiatives to improve the process efficiency within your remit.

Next you talk to the Head of Accounting for one of your service areas, a key stakeholder and partner, to align the update for the regional CFO community next week which you’ll present jointly. Before you head to lunch, you dive deep with your GL, Closing & Reporting function into a major project of theirs which drives harmonization across the region.

Refreshed, you start the second half of your day with a mentoring session for a top finance talent from the region. While you just had a quick glance at your wider team’s KPIs, and addressed major observations to your respective function leads, you find yourself in a review meeting with the Regional Accounting team to evaluate improvement potential of the end-to-end process for Fixed Assets.

Because you’re the global sponsor for the Accounts Receivable teams, you meet with the function leads for all three-service provider regions within Accounting Services to simulate the strategic and collective thinking of this group and drive selection of the next tool of choice. You end your day with a check-in with your manager, the Global Head of Accounting Services, and followed by a 1o1 with peer the Accounting Service Center Manager for Americas.
