1,039: Driving Alignment Across Finance, Technology, and HR for Operational Success | Laura LaPeer, CFO, Plante Moran

It wasn’t long after Laura LaPeer left public accounting to climb the corporate career ladder that she encountered her first delicate challenge as a corporate controller. Just a year into her new role, her employer was acquired, and LaPeer was unexpectedly asked to explain complex working capital issues to the new owners. The head of finance for the acquired firm struggled to present the information clearly, and the new owners were becoming frustrated. LaPeer instinctively stepped in, simplifying the complex details and demonstrating her ability to distill intricate financial data while effectively reading the room.

This experience, though it occurred prior to her joining Plante Moran, laid the foundation for her approach to leadership. By the time she was recruited as the controller at Plante Moran, LaPeer had already honed her ability to navigate complex situations and build relationships. The firm’s collaborative culture and the promise of a CFO role within a few years aligned perfectly with her leadership ethos. Her early experience not only solidified her decision-making and communication abilities but also prepared her for the strategic demands of Plante Moran’s finance function.
