A day in the life
The rhythm of this role shifts throughout the month. During the first two weeks, the focus is on CFO reporting-pulling actuals from Cognos, building and refining reports in Excel, and ensuring the monthly financial package is accurate, insightful, and delivered on time. Days are a mix of heads-down work building and reviewing reports and meetings with cross-functional partners including accounting, investor relations, and business unit FP&A teams. Given the seniority of the audience, this leader reviews team output with a high degree of detail, conducting regular 1:1s and working closely with their team to ensure every deliverable meets the bar.
During the back half of the month, the focus shifts to process improvement and automation. This leader owns the automation roadmap for the team's reporting workflows and regularly meets with tech teams to refine requirements, review progress, and test builds. The goal is to continuously reduce manual effort and increase the scalability and reliability of the team's outputs.
During planning cycles, the intensity increases significantly. The role becomes heavily focused on executive deliverables-preparing PnL, FCF, and headcount reports for the CEO, S-Team, and Board of Directors. This requires close partnership with business unit FP&A teams to ensure the consolidated reports accurately reflect the basis for their narratives. Meetings increase in frequency, and the ability to synthesize inputs from across the organization into a clear, cohesive story for leadership is critical.
Throughout it all, this leader balances stakeholder management, team development, and the pursuit of operational excellence in how the team delivers its work.
