Oana exploded onto LinkedIn and almost instantly became the leading finance and FP&A thought leader. Favikon a listening and creator ranking platform ranks Oana as the #1 corporate and finance voice on LinkedIn. More stunningly, Oana is ranked 11th placed most influential creator on the entire LinkedIn platform and the highest ranked female in any niche. This feat is even more astonishing given the complex finance and accounting topics she posts each day. Her LinkedIn posts are powerful, visually appealing nuggets with infographics and simple explanations.
She is an expert in working capital management and advises companies on optimizing the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) to improve liquidity and cash flow. Oana Labes shares her knowledge and expertise in finance, business, and cash flow through her newsletter, The Finance Gem.
Over the course of her career, Oana worked with hundreds of businesses and financed hundreds more. Through her advisory firm Financiario, she now complements the capacity of CFOs, VP Finance and Controllers, to help CEOs and Boards of Directors grow revenues, improve profitability, and maximize enterprise value through strategic financial planning.
Oana emphasizes the importance of strategic finance in business growth, highlighting that profitability is not a strategic objective, but a means to an end. She says, “Profitability is not a strategic objective; it’s a means to an end that enables strategic objectives.” Companies need to determine the minimum level of profitability required to achieve their strategic objectives — like an exit or equity value growth — and create a plan for execution.
