Anders Liu-Lindberg

Leading advisor to senior Finance and FP&A leaders on how to succeed with business partnering

Who Am I?

I’m Anders Liu-Lindberg, Partner and CCO at Business Partnering Institute. I work with senior finance and FP&A leaders across Europe to elevate the role of finance. This means greater impact, stronger business partnerships, and more informed decisions through modern planning and reporting practices.

Formerly with Maersk, I’ve spent the last 10+ years bridging the gap between finance and business as a speaker, advisor, content creator, and interim leader. Whether it’s defining a new operating model, redesigning reporting, or leading from within, I bring both vision and execution to the table.

What We Do at Business Partnering Institute

We help companies build finance teams that matter, both inside and outside the room, at the table, and in the decisions. We’re hands-on, shoulder-to-shoulder, and always focused on real business outcomes.

Interim Finance Leadership
Step-in support for critical roles like VP Finance, Business Partner, or Controller, fast onboarding, and full ownership.

Consulting Projects
From planning & forecasting to reporting frameworks and service delivery models, we design, implement, and embed.

Learning & Upskilling
Tailored learning journeys that transform business partners into trusted advisors covering people, business, and leadership skills.

Why Reach Out?

Whether you're gearing up for the next budget cycle, scaling your finance team, or rethinking the role of business partnering, I’d love to hear where you’re headed.

We work across industries and company sizes, always tailoring our approach to your unique context. And we’re proud to see our clients succeed long after we’ve stepped away.

Let’s grab a coffee or set up a call. No pitch. Just a good conversation about finance with more impact.

Advisory Board Member

The tides of change are flowing into the finance function which sends the function into the age of 4.0. We say it is "Enabled by tech - Driven by people". 

At Born Capital, we focus on tech enablement and are looking for early-stage startups in what we call #CFOTech that will enable the finance function to become a profit driver. We have a keen interest in FP&A and Business Finance as this is where we see the biggest improvement potential.

Actually, CFOs themselves know this as 71% of them are not happy with the performance of their FP&A team despite significant investments made in the past decade. We will help the office of the CFO get the right tech and tools to step up to the plate and deliver on the expectations of the CEO and other CXOs.

Feel free to reach out if you would like to know more about how we can help your start-up to the next level...

Finance in 2035 won’t be faster spreadsheets.

It will be a different function altogether.

This vision shows the real shift ahead:
Not from finance → tech
But from finance as control → finance as intelligence.

Three changes stand out:

1️⃣ 𝗔𝗜-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲
Every task starts with one question:
Can AI do this better than humans?

2️⃣ 𝗔 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸
Compliance becomes automated.
Control becomes predictive.
Advisory becomes real-time.

3️⃣ 𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝘁
Less manual reporting.
More reasoning, judgment, creativity, and influence.

The finance professional of 2035 won’t be valued for producing numbers.
They’ll be valued for interpreting signals, shaping decisions, and guiding direction.

Finance won’t lose relevance.
It will gain responsibility.

The real risk isn’t AI replacing finance roles.
It’s the finance teams waiting too long to redefine them.

Which capability do you think today’s finance teams are least prepared for?

P.S. The future CFO won’t ask “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥?”
They’ll ask, “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘺?”

Finance storyteller and business builder. 🏗️ Your Finance Wing Lady for clarity, strategy, and growth 🚀

Hi, I’m Anthea! I love building things! Though I'm not handy with a hammer, I lay the building blocks for businesses, creating structure, simplifying processes, and developing teams. With over 20 years in finance and operations, my focus is on clear goals, accessible data, and a culture of open communication and feedback. These are the building blocks to smooth operations, strong financial health, and happy and effective teams.

🦸‍♀️ Areas of Expertise:
⚡	Strategic Planning for Growth: Guiding scale-ups through their growth journey with practical, sustainable strategies.
⚡	Operational Efficiency: Building sustainable business processes that streamline operations and empower teams.
⚡	Data-Informed Leadership: Ensuring access to quality data for all, fostering a culture of informed decision-making.
⚡	Navigating Complex Governance: Managing intricate governance structures with a focus on inclusivity and clarity.

🌐 My Approach: I'm passionate about creating collaborative and innovative work cultures. My approach is proactive and hands-on, clarifying priorities, streamlining reporting, and ensuring everyone is aligned and informed. I believe in empowering teams and colleagues, providing them with the tools and insights to excel.

📈 My Story: From my early days in Corporate Finance in Australia to leading financial strategy at Harvard University, and now as a CFO, my path has been shaped by relentless problem-solving and a pursuit of excellence. My global experiences in Australia, the USA, and Germany have given me a multifaceted perspective on business.

💜 Personal Interests: Outside of work, I'm committed to empowering women in business because representation matters. Based in Melbourne with my family, my interests range from world cuisines to nature's wonders like forests and frogs. I also love solving puzzles – whether they're in a spreadsheet or a jigsaw.

Drop me a DM! I’m always happy to chat and explore how we can work together
