Working in Metro North has given me some amazing experiences I\u2019m not sure many other accountants would have in their careers, and let me work with an incredible group of people.<\/h4>\n<p>Some things I consider highlights now didn\u2019t seem so great at the time but prepared me for future challenges. Like working through the implementation of the new finance system rollout a few years ago.\u00a0 Not only did it give me an understanding of procurement and supplies processes across the state, but it also prepared us for the work around securing critical PPE in response to COVID.<\/p>\n<p>This role has even given me the opportunity to abseil for charity, something I\u2019m glad I can say I did but never have to do again!<\/p>\n<p>On a personal note, the connections I\u2019ve made in my time with Metro North continue to enrich my life. I want to thank all the teams and individuals who make up our diverse corporate business services. The teams work often behind the scenes doing critical work to support our clinical colleagues to deliver high quality care.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you also to our executive team for your support and camaraderie in the challenging times and the good times. I am honoured to have worked for Metro North and alongside you all.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<\/p>\n<p>Mel<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I\u2019ve been preparing to finish up with Metro North, I\u2019ve been reflecting on my time here over the past four years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[190],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cfco"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Message from the Chief Finance &amp;
