CFO Toolkit

A clean, scalable chart of accounts structure for companies $5M-$50M. Organized by function, not by what QuickBooks gave you on day one.

Account-by-account reconciliation workbook. Every balance sheet account, every month. The single most important thing a finance team does.

Standard recurring journal entries with descriptions, approvals, and a log template. Stop recreating entries from scratch every month.

5-day close methodology. 56 items across pre-close, transaction close, balance sheet recon, analysis, and reporting. Also available as an interactive tool.

Segregation of duties, approval workflows, access controls, and fraud prevention. The controls framework auditors want to see.

12-month calendar of every financial deadline: close, filings, renewals, audits, budgets, insurance, taxes, and board meetings.

Bottom-up budget template: revenue by driver, COGS by category, overhead by department, headcount plan, and capital expenditures. Built for $5M-$50M companies.

Full loaded cost per employee, department rollup, hire/exit timeline, and revenue-per-employee tracking. The model that connects people decisions to financial impact.

Every loan, line of credit, and lease in one place: balances, rates, covenants, compliance, and maturity dates. Know what you owe and what you promised.

AR days, AP days, inventory days, and the cash conversion cycle. The model that shows where cash gets trapped — and how to free it.

Week-by-week plan for your first 90 days in a new finance leadership role. Cash, people, systems, quick wins. The playbook that builds trust fast.

One-page financial package that gets read. Executive summary, key metrics, variance commentary, cash outlook, and recommendations — not a data dump.

The 12 KPIs every CFO should track weekly. Includes formulas, targets, benchmarks by company size, and a 5-minute Monday review script.

Financial due diligence for acquisitions: quality of earnings, working capital, customer concentration, contingent liabilities, and integration risks.

First 2 weeks with a new client: discovery, quick wins, scope definition, and trust-building. The framework that turns a trial into a retainer.

The single most valuable deliverable a CFO produces. Weekly rolling forecast with actuals, scenarios, and a visual cash runway. The tool that prevents surprises.
