Partnering with Finance has been an oxymoron for most of my business career.
Most of my experience as a partnering professional with finance has not been positive. Conflicts on how to recognize 'influence' revenue', always struggling to get the minimum budgets to invest in infrastructure and marketing even when the partner organization was delivering 40% of the company revenue, etc.

When I was finally assigned a financial analyst who collaborated with the partner organization...OMG What a difference!

My advice is to use your partnering skills to work with finance to enlist them in helping to solve the partner attribution conundrum. Enlist them to help build the business case for investments. Put your partner organization on firm financial footing.

Establish open lines of communication. Financial leaders should proactively communicate and build relationships with leaders and stakeholders from other departments.
