Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The leader who builds this machine before their competitor does is not optimizing. They are winning.Every AI finance transformation in America starts the same way: a presentation, some enthusiasm, a pilot. Then it hits the real organization and dies. Not because the tools do not work. Because… nobody mapped the failure modes first.This book maps them. Then it tells you exactly what to do.15 chapters. Each one produces a deliverable: - A diagnostic that tells you honestly where your finance function stands before you touch any tooling- A close transformation playbook: from 10-day close to real-time, with the sequence, the governance, and the audit trail- An FP&A automation framework that produces board-ready forecasts as machine-generated first drafts- Technical accounting workflows for ASC 805, ASC 842, and ASC 606 that preserve the judgment layer a controller must own- The governance structure that makes the whole system defensible - including through audits and personnel changes- An 18-month build plan with 20 milestones, milestone owners, and evidence-of-completion requirements- The political strategy for getting this done inside a resistant organization without losing the sponsorship you need This is a field manual. That word is chosen deliberately. A field manual tells you what to do when the situation is unclear, resources are limited, and waiting for better conditions is not an option.Part of the StackedCFO Series. Each book is a standalone read.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The CFO role is not being disrupted. It is being divided.Somewhere right now, a CFO is being replaced by a combination of software and a controller who learned to prompt. Somewhere else, a different CFO is being invited into conversations the board never used to have with finance. These two C…FOs are at the same career stage. They have comparable credentials. The difference between them has nothing to do with technical skill.This book maps the divide and shows which side you are on.Four arguments across four parts: - Part I: The Machine Is Already Inside. The close process, technical accounting, FP&A, Big 4 advisory - the production layer of finance is being automated at a pace most finance leaders have not registered. This part shows exactly what is gone, what is going, and what the timeline looks like.- Part II: The Political Layer Nobody Teaches. With the production work receding, the CFO's organizational relationships with the CEO, the board, the PE sponsor have become the only thing that matters. This part names the dynamics and shows how to navigate them.- Part III: From Function to Operator. The controller who multiplies their coverage through AI leverage. The FP&A leader who builds genuine operator intelligence. The CFO who stops acting like a CFO and starts acting like a business co-owner. This is not theoretical.- Part IV: The Endgame - Ownership, Not Employment. The acquisition path. The fractional leverage model. Advisory equity. For the finance professional who has decided that proximity to the title is not the same as holding it. Written for the finance executive who finished Book 1 and is not sleeping well. Includes appendices with acquisition screening frameworks, diligence workflows, and the fractional practice pricing model.Part of the StackedCFO Series. Each book is a standalone read.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The answer, for most of you, is no.You are running a business doing $3M to $10M in revenue. You have a bookkeeper, an outside accounting firm, and a spreadsheet that is never quite right. Someone told you that you need a CFO. You have been half-believing them for two years.This book exists be…cause that answer is almost always wrong - and the people best positioned to tell you the truth have a financial interest in not doing so.What this book delivers: - A Finance Stack Audit you can complete before you finish the first chapter- The real difference between a bookkeeper, controller, fractional CFO, and full-time CFO - and which one your business actually needs at your revenue stage- The three scenarios where a full-time CFO is genuinely warranted - and the specific signals that tell you you are not in one of them- The org chart your business needs at $5M, $10M, and $20M in revenue - with costs- Five questions to answer before you post a job description. If you cannot answer them, do not post it. Casper Zhao spent 13 years at PwC, BDO, and CFGI working alongside the finance executives you are considering hiring. He watched, across dozens of engagements, what a CFO at a $5M business actually does with their time. Most of it is not strategic. Most of it is not what the job description says. Most of it can be done differently.This is the book he wished existed before those conversations started.Part of the StackedCFO Series. Each book is a standalone read.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. It was 11:47 PM on a Tuesday. The board deck was late. Again.My CFO's team had been working on a cost-to-serve analysis for six weeks. I opened an AI assistant and typed the same question. Eleven minutes later I had a better answer - more detailed, more honest, and more useful than the one I h…ad been waiting for.That moment cost me eight months of uncomfortable thinking, one difficult conversation, and eventually one of the most important decisions I have made as a CEO. This book is the full account of what I found, what I changed, and what it means for any company still running finance the old way.What this book arguesSomewhere between 60 and 80 percent of what your senior finance team spends its time on can now be done faster, cheaper, and often better by AI tools that cost less per month than a dinner for two. The work that remains - the judgment, the courage, the uncomfortable question asked at the right moment in the right room - is more valuable than it has ever been. Most finance functions are organized to do the first thing and have almost no time for the second. This book is about how to change that.What you get insideThe 41-deliverable experiment - documented results tracking every finance output over four months, comparing CFO team time and quality against AI replication. The numbers are uncomfortable.The AI Finance Audit - a 25-question scored diagnostic you can run on your own finance function today. Four score bands with specific recommended actions.20 ready-to-deploy AI prompts - fully written, immediately usable prompts for cash flow forecasting, variance narrative, board presentation architecture, scenario planning, and more.The conversation guide - step-by-step guidance on having the role evolution conversation with your CFO, including three annotated scripts and a 30-day follow-up protocol.The full technology stack - eight-layer AI finance stack with real monthly costs. Total software cost of the restructured function: approximately $300 per month.Four real transition profiles - finance professionals who made the transition, including one who was promoted to CFO with a 38 percent pay increase and one who recognized the new role was not what she wanted and left for something better. Honest accounts of what this actually looks like.Who this book is forCEOs who have privately wondered whether their finance function is generating strategic value proportional to its costCFOs who see the change coming and want to be the one who names it firstFinance professionals who want to understand what the new version of the role looks like and how to get thereBoard members and investors who are beginning to ask why finance function costs vary so widely across comparable companiesWhat this book is notIt is not a book about replacing finance professionals with AI. The argument is precisely the opposite: the work AI cannot do is the only work that matters at the senior level, and it is currently buried under work that automation now handles. It is not a technology book - the specific tools occupy one chapter. The rest is about leadership, honesty, and the psychology of organizational change.All characters and events depicted are fictional. Any resemblance to real persons or organizations is coincidental.
