When Financial Information Isn’t Supporting Good Decisions
Many leaders sense that the business could be run more effectively if the financial function were stronger, more disciplined, and more forward-looking.
Common signs it’s time to bring in someone to help:
Financial statements arriving late or lacking credibility.
Limited visibility into cash flow or future performance.
No meaningful forecasts beyond basic historical reporting.
Gaps or challenges within the accounting or finance team.
A sudden leadership void after a CFO or senior finance leader departs.
Frustration with numbers that exist, but don’t support good decisions.
Preparing for financing, acquisition, or exit and needing to “clean things up.”
