Aliyyah Abdullah, CPABC
Finance Business Partner | Writer | Geek
I draw on 15 years of work experience and an umbrella of skills to solve problems within finance and accounting. This experience includes effective communication, managing cross-functional teams, board reporting, budgeting and forecasting, scenario planning, risk analysis, technical accounting, and process improvement. I have enjoyed working within small and medium-sized entities for most of my career, which has given me a more significant impact on leading and contributed to my entrepreneurial personality.
My career has also involved being outsourced at a listed fortune 500 company and working within the public sector. While enriching, this journey provides a backdrop for being unique, flexible, and contributing different perspectives.
In 2020, I decided to get serious about professional writing, so I write in my spare time. In 2021, I wrote an academic paper to help junior finance professionals improve their influence, and this was nominated for a Rubery Award in 2022.

Christopher Argent
Editor in Chief, Generation CFO
Chris champions the “yin yang” of holistic finance business partnering enabled by digital finance transformation. He calls his work the “Digital Finance Core”. It’s a set of models and methods he has created over the last 15 years. He explains more in his upcoming book: The Good Mixer - The Digital CFO Opportunity.
Chris’s earlier career focused on business partnering, performance and growth strategy, then finance transformation and technology.
Technology is part of his expertise, but it’s not the focus, as talent and change strategy is required before successful implementation and sustained performance.
