#118: How to Prove Your Full Value As An Accountant with Elizabeth Hale
Are you really proving your full value as an accountant?
There are two types of people this question applies to. The first are those who are worried that automation is going on to displace their current roles and there are those who want to practically know how we can be creating and capturing even more value for our organisations.
On today’s episode guest mentor Elizabeth Hale and I deconstruct and go through a number of real examples on how we can continually prove our value as accountants and finance professionals as well as:
• Why a career in accounting & finance can be a wild ride.
• The five main things business owners are really looking for from their accountants.
• How we can practically become that business partner / financial mentor they are looking for.
• How to adopt a solution and continually proving your value mindset.

Om Podcasten
The #SITN Show (www.sitnshow.com) is a popular accounting & finance podcast listened to in over 150+ countries around the world.
Getting an accounting qualification or finance certification is one of the best things to do to make a difference in our society. It potentially gives us a position from which we can help businesses make better decisions for the good of their customers, suppliers, communities, colleagues and yes owners and other financiers too. We can help increase the opportunity for all. So #SITN was established to leverage the value of mentoring:
1. To elevate the influence, impact, value, and difference we make for our organisations; and
2. To have more fun, rewarding, and meaningful careers in accounting & finance.
In this way we make it more accessible to everyone in our profession, regardless or geography, professional affiliations, status, gender, etc…
The fundamental premise of #SITN is that despite for all the challenges our profession is facing into, the seemingly accelerating rate of change, the new digital technologies and business models, we still have the ability to share with each other practical advice & experiences on what works well and what doesn’t, so that we can all plot better paths forward.
Every Thursday we release a professionally produced podcast with a 30- to 40-minute interview that has been recorded with a guest mentor relevant to the finance & accounting profession. These guest mentors share their real success stories and hard-won lessons which are not found in any textbooks or on LinkedIn profiles. Together with the interviewer they deconstruct their experiences into the key strengths, qualities and practical ‘baby’ steps that others can also follow. On Mondays there is the popular #SITN Monday Memo which is a 5-minute debrief on a topical issue or useful piece of practical advice in accounting & finance.
The show is accessible via: iTunes; Stitcher; Spotify; YouTube; and Soundcloud, with detailed time-stamped show notes, key quotes, resources & ways to connect with guest mentors at www.sitnshow.com.
