CFO PLAYBOOK · YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS IN FINANCE

New Finance Leader's 30-Day Reality Check

What to assess before you commit to fixing anything.

Most new finance leaders move too fast. They inherit broken processes, hidden data problems and undocumented assumptions, then commit publicly to fixing the wrong things. This maps what you have actually inherited before you make any structural change.

What you get

  • Ten scored checks

    Handover quality, data integrity, team capability, reporting rhythm, board pack status and planning process.

  • Written for your first month

    Every check is something you can establish by asking, not something that needs a project to answer.

  • Stops you committing early

    The point is to know where the real risk sits before you tell a board what you are going to fix.

For CFOs, Finance Directors and Heads of FP&A in the first 30 days of a new role
