ABOUT JANET SILTANEN

Finance has always been more than numbers, it’s about creating stability, enabling growth, and guiding organizations through change with precision and foresight. As a Senior Accounting & Tax Executive, I’ve dedicated my career to transforming complex financial environments into engines of clarity, compliance, and strategic value.My journey has spanned Fortune 100 companies, SaaS innovators, healthcare systems, and manufacturing enterprises, each presenting unique challenges that demanded both technical mastery and leadership agility. Along the way, I’ve led organizations through digital finance transformations, multi-entity operations, and high-stakes regulatory landscapes, ensuring that financial integrity keeps pace with evolving business needs.Whether navigating GAAP, ASC 606/842 compliance, or intricate state, local, and international tax requirements, I bring a steady hand in environments where precision is non-negotiable. I thrive in moments of complexity, M&A transactions, audits, restructurings, and pre-IPO readiness, where proactive risk mitigation and forward-looking governance can make the difference between setbacks and opportunities.Equally important, I believe in building teams that elevate the finance function. By leveraging automation, ERP/cloud finance systems, and process optimization, I’ve consistently shifted financial operations from reactive to strategic, accelerating close cycles, strengthening compliance, and freeing teams to focus on initiatives that drive growth.At the heart of my leadership philosophy is a commitment to alignment: ensuring that finance is not just a back-office function, but a strategic partner that supports long-term vision, operational resilience, and shareholder confidence.
