Loretta Schneiders

Overview

During an ongoing transformation, Loretta Schneiders took over functional leadership of the entire accounting team at Live Nation Entertainment as interim accounting team lead. The goal: keep day-to-day operations stable and organise processes so that the team can carry them forward on its own.

Situation

The accounting team of 20 was in the middle of a transformation. Three areas with their own requirements – accounts receivable, accounts payable and artist accounting – had to keep delivering reliably while structures and workflows changed.

Approach

Leading and stabilising the team

Clear functional leadership, structured communication and unambiguous responsibilities across all three areas.

Analysing and restructuring processes

Existing workflows in Oracle EBS were analysed and reorganised alongside day-to-day business.

Supporting the head of accounting

Deputising for the head of accounting on cross-functional topics and escalations.

Result

Result and handover

A stable, well-structured team with clear processes that carries the transformation and is fully capable on its own.

What others can take away

In a transformation, an accounting team above all needs reliability: clear contacts, clear priorities and leadership that protects day-to-day operations while structures change.
