Finance business partnering is tricky. To the ones who are in the role, it always feels like walking a tight rope. Early in my career, Bill explained a simple way to think about it.
Consider any professional sports team. Individuals involved with professional sports team generally fall in one of the following categories:
Players: who play the game
Umpires/Referees: who tell the players when they do something wrong
Coaches: who tell the players how referees think and how they can play the game
A finance business partner has to have the ability to play all of these roles at different times. The skill is to determine when to play which role.
