Sari is in charge of the financial management of OIL SPILL, on both Lead Partner and Partner level. Her tasks vary from attending meetings to financial reporting, counseling, and communicating with the First Level Controllers as well as the Managing Authority and Joint Secretariat of the Interreg BSR Programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During her career, Sari has learned the art of multi-tasking and  prioritizing. These skills are crucial because her job requires keeping  everything accurately under control and to the schedule. Financial Manager also needs patience, especially in the world of project consortiums, where things rarely go as planned.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sari is well aware that financial affairs are not \u2013 and should not be \u2013 at the center of everyone\u2019s work. At the Project Office, too, she has explained the same things over and over again. But Sari enjoys giving advice, and the moments when the realization dawns belong to the best parts of her work. Other joys are getting to know the Project Partners and, of course, successful problem-solving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the Financial Services, we  often joke how we are the Seekers of the Lost Cents. It is brilliant when we do find them and finally match up the financial reports.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an experienced Financial Manager and Coordinator, Sari knows that, in projects, there is nothing more certain than change. Her adaptability and quick-wittedness are highly appreciated by the rest of the Project Office crew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-circle-mask\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogit.utu.fi\/oilspill\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/272\/2020\/02\/Sari_and_flags_-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2304 lazyload\" width=\"459\" height=\"385\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 459px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 459\/385;\" \/><figcaption><em>Expressions such as a hard-core professional and the backbone of the project are common when Sari T\u00e4htinen is in question.
