Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

From FP&A to CFO: the practical playbook for finance professionals who want to stop reporting the numbers and start driving the decisions behind them.Most finance training teaches you to be accurate. Almost none of it teaches you to be useful. This book closes that gap. Written by a Finance Manager and MBA, it is the working playbook for the accountant who wants to become a Finance Manager, the Finance Manager building out an FP&A function, and the ambitious analyst with an eye on the CFO's chair.This is not a textbook. There are no long derivations or academic detours. Instead, you get the practical craft of modern finance, explained in plain language and shown through worked examples with real numbers.What you will learn: - How to build a budget people actually use, driven by the things that cause the numbers rather than a single target- How to forecast without pretending you can predict the future, using rolling forecasts and scenario planning- How to build financial models that support decisions instead of impressing other finance people- How to design management reports and dashboards executives actually read- How to run variance analysis that ends in a recommendation, not just a number- How to become a true business partner and lead the difficult pricing, cost, and target conversations- How to master cash flow and working capital, the CFO's number one priority- How CFOs think differently about risk, capital, and the long term- What changes when you become CFO, from capital allocation and financing to governance and the boardInside the book: - Ten worked numerical examples that walk from raw numbers through analysis to a specific recommendation- Real-world scenarios, including a cash crisis, an unrealistic growth demand, and an investment decision- A complete FP&A-to-CFO career roadmap showing the skills each stage demands- A practical view of how AI fits into the modern finance workflow- The FP&A and CFO Toolkit: fourteen ready-to-use checklists, templates, and frameworks you can put to work the same weekThis book is designed to be used, not just read. Every chapter ends with an action checklist, and the final toolkit turns the ideas into templates you can apply immediately.If your job title contains the word finance and your ambition is bigger than your job description, this book is your roadmap.Part of the Modern Finance Series.
