Laetitia Dowd’s Post

I have had a few friends enquire about this post, wondering about the jump from for profit to non profit - in particular at Movement Schools. So I thought I would share a few thoughts. Let me say this: BEST MOVE EVER. If you are stuck, in a work with no soul, drained from hours of work and no end in sight on a project that makes little sense to you, GET OUT! There is absolutely no reason to live life unfulfilled. Or if you are absolutely in love with what you do, but have navigated the same industry for a long time and wonder how you could use skills and knowledge outside of banking or consulting to shape your environment with new friends, try it! You might fall in love with it (I did!) Movement Schools is an entrepreneurial, fast moving pace, where you will have significant responsibilities. We are growing and what we do has high impact. The skills you will practice here are highly marketable. At Movement Schools, we maintain a high bar of performance - we talk about efficient processes, scalability to support growth. We talk about financing structures to raise debt in the capital markets, which means practicing investment banking skills. Many of my business partners started in positions just like the one below, and subsequently moved to philanthropic private equity, investment banking, etc. We take training seriously. You will be coached weekly on a specific skills, giving and receiving feedback, handling critical conversations, coaching others, etc. Absolutely the place to be if you are thinking about a career boost.

Why is it that the finance department often ends up handling all the overflow work in small and large businesses alike? It seems like the accounting, finance, and administrative tasks all get dumped into this black hole known as administration, with no one really knowing where to put them. I personally experienced this when I transitioned from a high-level corporate job at a large US steel company to a smaller company, which still had an annual revenue of $75 million. As the head of finance, I not only had responsibilities in finance and accounting, but also in treasury, information technology, and safety. I was responsible for safety at my previous job. My duties included conducting safety audits throughout the plant and managing the safety department. It was important for me to have a thorough understanding of OSHA rules, although at times it seemed illogical. When I got fired from that position, I couldn't help but question if I was truly to blame. Was I expected to excel in all aspects of my role? Because I genuinely wanted to excel in my job. When you assign me 17 tasks, it becomes impossible to complete them all. This creates false expectations, which is the responsibility of the company, not the employee. It is crucial for companies to have discussions before hiring individuals, as they may not know how to properly structure and manage finance and administrative roles, especially in smaller businesses. This situation is simply absurd, and both sides are being set up for failure. Ultimately, it negatively impacts the company and the employee.
