As the director of finance and operations for Eames Group, I’m responsible for the processes, timelines and quality of financial reporting across our brands and our four international offices. That means having a solid understanding of the statutory and regulatory requirements in each region, so I can give each of our locations the best possible support.
The one thing that marks us out from other organisations is the depth of our specialism and expertise. That applies both to our people and to our network of subject matters experts, who are each aligned with one of our specialist areas. The way we work as an extension of our clients’ teams, I genuinely believe they would find it hard to access the same service and opportunities elsewhere.
As Opportunity Makers, it’s up to us to understand and diagnose what our clients need so that we can put in place the teams and structures to help them achieve their objectives. We’re in a position where if we do our job really well, we’re able to change people’s lives and improve our clients’ trajectory. We aren’t going to do that by being transactional – we can only do that by being a trusted adviser throughout our engagement.
