About Suzanne Harrington
Over the last two decades I’ve worked in various accounting/finance roles supporting global manufacturing and service providers. I’ve held positions in corporate headquarters, divisional offices, a shared service center and a manufacturing facility. I possess over a decade of managerial experience leading accountants and financial analysts in both office and manufacturing environments. I strive to provide senior leadership with insights into both current and expected future financial results for informed decision making. In addition, I leverage my analytical capabilities and working knowledge to find opportunities and offer solutions to help achieve short and long-term profitability targets. One of my biggest strengths is the ability to break down communication barriers leading to enhanced business partnering through the development of effective working relationships with colleagues across business functions from regional finance teams, procurement, sales, marketing, human resources, and information technology. Ultimately my interests transcend debits and credits, reports, analysis, business support, managing teams and leading projects. I have a passion for people, a passion for developing future finance leaders, because for me, finance isn’t just about numbers. Finance is about people and developing relationships within the organization.
