Are you spending countless amounts of time and money trying to grow your business, but not seeing results?
Are you frustrated with the lack of accountability in your organization?
Are you struggling to compete with others for the same talent pool?
There is one simple solution to all of these business problems. And it's not what you think.
To succeed in business, you need to have a sustainable competitive advantage. That is, something that makes you better than the rest, indefinitely.
You can be the fastest, cheapest or best...You can pay your employees top dollar...You can even have happy customers...for a while. But there will always be someone else who can do it faster, do it for less, or is wiling to pay more.
Hi, I'm Shirley Wiliani.
I'm on a mission to change how business leaders think. I believe that "Cost centers" - like the back-office functions of Finance and HR - are the most powerful drivers of business profitability.
And the most overlooked.
I speak to business leaders around the world about how to use their back office to grow their businesses. I speak about Culture, Performance Management, Accountability, Data and more. I show leaders how to create a sustainable competitive advantage using these overlooked tools to boost company growth and profitability.
I would welcome the opportunity to share my insights with you!
Shirley brings over 30 years of experience working in and leading companies across a variety of industries and sizes. Having witnessed firsthand the struggles of her entrepreneurial father and numerous companies that faced similar challenges, she identified a common thread: the neglect of Finance and HR departments. This realization fueled her passion for these crucial areas, and she has since dedicated her career to demonstrating how building organizational strength through Finance and HR is the most powerful driver of business profitability.
Shirley's expertise spans multiple sectors, including distribution, manufacturing, construction, professional services, and technology. Her deep understanding of business, coupled with her ability to inspire and empower audiences, makes her an inspirational and sought-after speaker.
As a business owner herself, Shirley is committed to placing the importance of Finance and HR in the hearts and minds of business leaders worldwide. She firmly believes that when these departments are prioritized, businesses can achieve unprecedented profitability and growth.

This presentation will show business leaders how to turn Finance and HR departments into profit centers instead.
