Life is a performance, and how we show up in everything that we do, matters. 

Performance matters to the teams in which we play and the business in which we operate. It is the jet fuel that drives strategies, the life blood to everything in and around us, and that’s why it matters. How we perform impacts us alongside the people around us, and collectively our performance impacts the planet.

The good news is that we don’t have to perform alone. Great outcomes start with individual steps, steps that each of us take towards creating the future we want, and the impact we have.

No matter what stage you’re at in your journey, Paula will help you take your next steps with determination, courage and support. We are your team, cheering you along at each milestone you reach, armed with a focus, a plan and a solid execution strategy.

Paula’s speciality is harnessing her extensive business knowledge and 30-year plus experience to share how we can learn from the past and re-shape the future. Through her passion and vision, she is able to empo wer and unite other CFOs and professionals to share common ground to forge a new, sustainable, ethical direction in financial business management. She believes in the power of teamwork and knowledge-sharing which has led her in the past 5 years to establish and grow ‘CFO Conversations’ – a successful online community which enables CFOs to connect and to support each other and offer inspiration, encouragement and connection with their peers on their professional journey..

I have had the pleasure of working with Paula as our contracted CFO for the past 18 months, and I can confidently say that she has been an invaluable asset to our team. As an advisor and soundboard for myself personally, Paula has provided me with valuable insights and guidance, which have helped me make informed decisions for the business. Her expertise in finance has been crucial in helping us navigate through some challenging situations, including major milestones such as the launch of a new subscription model. 

Throughout her tenure, Paula has consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication. Her ability to communicate complex financial concepts in a clear and concise manner has made it easier to drive decisions. Paula has also been instrumental in assisting us with modelling for future planning, ensuring that we are well-prepared for potential challenges and opportunities.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Paula, and I would highly recommend her to any business looking for a reliable and experienced CFO.

Itoc engaged Paula as our CFO to help drive and deliver our transformation from a small business to a 100+ person organisation ensuring we had the right fiscal and business principles and operations in place.

Paula's industry experience, insight and leadership was instrumental in taking Itoc to the next level successfully.

Additionally Paula was a leader in our Exec Team and provided coaching and guidance to our Senior Leadership Team and became a friend and go-to advisor.

During this period Itoc was acquired by Thoughtworks.  Paula's advice and assistance in the sale process cannot be understated, from supporting due diligence to helping structure and implement the sale in practice.

Paula's strengths in commercial business acumen, accounting and compliance balances well with her leadership & personal skills with wide ranging and relevant industry experience. I would recommend her to any growing business.

I am sure we will work together again in the future.

Paula was my CFO at Keycorp, and at Rubik, both listed Fintech businesses. In both cases she helped take the company from a difficult position to a high growth business. She is everything she says she is and then some. She is a safe pair of hands, and a growth business operative. I could not have asked for anyone better.
