If I joined

What I would do first, and what it depends on.

First 30 days

Meet every leader whose decisions show up in the numbers, and everyone on the finance team one to one. Ask each the same question: what would you fix first?

By day 60

A shared view of the few numbers that run the business, who owns each one, and where the close, forecast and controls stand today.

By day 90

A plan the CEO and board have agreed to, in order, with what it needs: people, systems or time. How fast it moves depends on what I find.

Cases use figures I can publish. Exhibits are sanitized or labeled reconstructions.
