The Monthly Review Every CEO Should Be Doing

Every corporate finance team runs a monthly budget vs actuals review.

Not because it’s glamorous, but because it keeps the business honest, stable and moving in the right direction.

Most small businesses never do this and it shows up in stress, confusion, and that feeling of “I’m busy, but I’ve no idea where the money’s going.”

In this episode, I walk you through the exact process an FD would guide a CEO through, including:

what budget vs actuals really shows youhow to understand the story behind your numbersthe difference between timing issues and structural changeswhat creeping costs revealand how to make one or two clear decisions each month that protect your profitThis isn’t about perfection.

It’s about clarity, control and running your business like a CEO, not reacting month to month.

If you’ve ever wished your profit matched your effort, this is the episode to start with.
