CIMA – How to manage a successful finance career

This event will look at the key skills and attributes that a finance manager will need to possess in order to make the big step up to finance director level. It will also cover the change in work type from the number crunching of the finance manager to the broader, more strategic, ad hoc and often admin focused role of the finance director.

Glenn Collins is currently director of finance operations at Interserve, one of the world’s foremost support services and construction companies operating in the public and private sectors in the UK and internationally. Glenn helped create the financial shared service centre back in September 2009 which aimed to act as a single point of contact for all finance and accounting services for the support services division, whilst maintaining best practice and customer intimacy.

Glenn is an ACMA prize-winner, with over 13 years SSC experience working within both the UK and overseas. Prior to joining Interserve, Glenn spent four years at Pentland Brands Plc as head of shared services and eight years at Rockwell Automation in a variety of senior finance roles, including three years in Rotterdam turning around their poorly performing EMEA SSC.
