“We have assembled a high caliber team of thinkers and change makers in our finance department,” Forguson said. “Now we are going to focus on leveraging technology and business intelligence to allow them to do just that. We are constantly benchmarking and allowing industry consultants from firms such as PSMJ, FMI, and CFMA to look under the hood, and we are taking action on their recommendations. I am a firm believer that consistent adherence to well-defined processes and procedures produces consistent results, so we will be utilizing our team’s experience to strategically align our protocols and drive performance.”
