How I Work
The bad number first
Tells the board what is going wrong before it asks. Trust is built on the miss, not the beat.
Finance that is usable
Builds the model the operators actually open, not the one that only the finance team can read.
Close, then explain
A fast close is worth nothing if nobody can say why the variance happened.
