NCH Heartbeat |
Natalie Fang

Hi everyone! I’m Natalie Fang, Finance Manager at NCH Taiwan. Looking back on my career, I feel incredibly grateful for the experiences, challenges, and friendships that have shaped me.

My journey at NCH has been long and rewarding, starting from an entry-level finance role to where I am today. Over the years, I’ve also taken on operational management responsibilities, which gave me a broader understanding of how the company functions. Our finance team is small but efficient, with each member playing a crucial role in keeping things running smoothly. We’ve built a strong foundation of trust and collaboration, ensuring that no challenge is too great for us to overcome together.

One of the most unforgettable moments in my career happened three decades ago. A tragic accident took the life of a warehouse colleague, leaving only a part-time student to handle operations. Determined to keep the business running, I spent my mornings at the warehouse, ensuring orders were shipped, before heading back to the Taipei office in the afternoon. This continued for months, but through teamwork and perseverance, we pulled through. That experience reinforced my belief that resilience and support can help us navigate even the toughest situations.

Throughout my career, I’ve learned that finance is more than just numbers. It’s about problem-solving, strategic thinking, and attention to detail. A mentor once told me, “Numbers are not just figures—they reflect the reality of a company’s health and direction.” This mindset has guided me in making informed decisions that impact not just the finance department, but the entire business.

One of my proudest accomplishments was implementing Oracle’s financial system within a month. It was a challenging yet rewarding experience, and seeing our efficiency improve significantly was a testament to the power of teamwork and determination.

To those starting out in finance, my advice is simple: be meticulous, because even small mistakes can have big consequences. Stay curious and keep learning, as the field is always evolving. Most importantly, develop strong relationships with your colleagues—finance is not just about numbers, but about working together to make sound business decisions.

As I approach retirement, my goal is to pass on my experience to the next generation of finance professionals. I hope to leave behind a team that is not only skilled but also motivated to continue growing and improving. While my time at NCH is nearing its final chapter, the lessons I’ve learned and the people I’ve met will always stay with me.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey!

大家好！我是 NCH 台灣的財務經理 Natalie Fang。回顧我的職涯，我心中充滿了感恩——感謝那些經歷、挑戰與深厚情誼，共同塑造了今天的我。

我在 NCH 的旅程既漫長又充實，從初階財務職務一路成長至今日的角色。這些年來，我也逐漸承擔了營運管理的工作，讓我更全面地了解公司的運作。我們的財務團隊雖小，卻效率極高，每位成員都在維持公司運作中扮演著不可或缺的角色。我們建立了深厚的信任與合作基礎，無論遇到什麼挑戰，都能一同克服。

我職涯中最難忘的一刻，發生在三十年前。當時一位倉庫同仁不幸因意外去世，只剩下一位兼職學生負責倉儲作業。為了確保營運不中斷，我每天早上前往倉庫處理出貨，下午再返回台北辦公室工作。這樣的日子持續了好幾個月。靠著團隊的支持與堅持，我們一起撐過了那段艱難時光。這段經歷更加堅定了我對「韌性與互助是渡過難關的關鍵」這個信念。

在我的職涯中，我深刻體會到，財務不只是數字的遊戲，而是關於解決問題、策略思考與細節掌握。一位前輩曾對我說過：「數字不只是數字——它們反映了企業的真實狀態與前進方向。」這句話一直引導我做出每一個影響公司整體發展的重要決策。

我最自豪的成就之一，是在短短一個月內成功導入 Oracle 財務系統。這項挑戰雖大，但成果令人振奮，也見證了團隊合作與堅持的力量，並大幅提升了我們的作業效率。

給剛踏入財務領域的你們，我的建議很簡單：要細心，因為一點小錯都可能帶來大影響；要保持好奇心，持續學習，因為這個領域總在變化；更要與同事建立良好的關係，因為財務工作不只是數字，更是一起做出明智決策的過程。

隨著我逐步邁向退休，我最大的期望，是能把我的經驗傳承給下一代的財務專業人員。我希望留下的不只是技能，還有一支不斷成長、充滿動力的團隊。雖然我在 NCH 的篇章即將落幕，但這些年來的學習與人情，將永遠陪伴著我。

感謝每一位在這段旅程中陪伴我的人！
