For the FP&A lead
The pack is not late because the numbers are late. It is late because rearranging them is a week's work that nobody counts. What FINK takes off that.
By role
Who this is for
A group CFO, a group controller and an FP&A lead look at the same ledgers and need different things from them. Pick your role and go straight to what matters to you.
The controller makes the statements right and on time. The CFO signs them and answers for the number. The FP&A lead turns them into something the business can run on.
- For the group controller. Mixed ERPs, a chart that changed in March, and a date that doesn’t move.
- For the group CFO. What it takes to sign the number, and four questions worth asking any vendor.
- For the FP&A lead. The week after the close that nobody counts.
For the group CFO
You sign it. What that requires from a reporting system, what it is fair to ask before buying one, and where the evidence is.
For the group controller
What a group controller is actually up against at close: mixed ERPs, a chart that changed in March, and a date that does not move. What answers it.
