Why spend months on an annual planning process you know is flawed? Why spend precious time on an annual report recasting numbers that were available the first week of the new year? Why spend a week on the monthly finance report that won't be read?

• Reporting templates for daily, weekly, and monthly reporting

• Completing the annual plan in two weeks or less

• Investing wisely in financial systems

• Developing winning leadership traits

• Re-engineering processes using "post-it" stickers

• Selling change to the CEO and Board

• Making the finance team a great place to work

Winning CFOs is filled with templates, questionnaires, workshop agendas, draft memos and checklists to get the implementation started and take you across the line as a winning CFO. There is a companion website with electronic media (tools and webcasts) to help save you time.
