Hi all,

I've just submitted my onboarding info for a new finance manager role I recently accepted, stepping up I guess on another rung of the ladder.

I'll be managing 2 people, but obviously with having never done it formally before (only really mentoring others within a team previously) I'm getting a bit of anxiety about it as I near my start date.

The two people I'll be managing are doing similar roles (AP/AR) so I'll be overseeing their work as well as my own so a lot of it will probably come down to processes as the business is moving to NetSuite which I've used now for a couple of years.

Does anyone have any tips or know of any resources that might be useful? I imagine a lot of it will come naturally with time (or not!) and involves mostly common sense but I'd rather not make a hash of it from the outset.

Thanks
