Background

About Markku Haavisto

With over a decade of experience in finance management, I specialize in business partnering, financial planning & analysis, management reporting and business controlling with a particular focus on the automotive sector. I firmly believe in the principle "what is measured, can be improved" and am passionate about developing and utilizing performance management, business analytics and FP & A tools to enhance financial performance as a senior Finance Business Partner. In today's data-driven world, modern business controlling must leverage business data in all activities. This presents a significant opportunity that should be central to the modern controller's role. Comprehensive utilization of data analytics provides deeper business insights and better analyses, thus supporting more informed decision-making. Emphasizing automation of routine tasks frees up time for high-value activities such as business partnering. With new finance-related technologies like AI, machine learning, RPA, advanced analytics, cloud-based ERPs and blockchain, the future of finance looks very bright. As Head of Finance, I am dedicated to delivering added value to business partners with a strong focus on strategic finance, performance management, financial analysis and data analytics.
