As Finance builds its role as a true business partner, there are development implications for Finance professionals. Finance roles are increasingly requiring a wider range of skills beyond the foundation of professionally qualified and technically able staff.

The aim of our Finance Partnering Academy is to develop the skills of Finance professionals to partner the business effectively. The core development activities are based around the Develop Global Finance Business Partnering competencies of relationship manager, shaper, leader, consultant and expert. Underpinning these competencies are the knowledge, skills and attitude required to build productive business relationships, contribute to strategy and add value to the business.
