The meetings that stay on your calendar.

A part time chief financial officer is easier to judge once the month has appointments, not a remainder of unused time.

Start with the appointments

Owners describe the role as a person they can reach. The useful version of that is a short list of meetings that are already on the calendar, each one with a job.

If a meeting can move every week and nothing breaks, it was never one of the meetings the month needed. The close review is rarely in that group.

The appointments, with your numbers left off

Bring this shape to a conversation when you want the return in the room with the calendar. The marked row is the one we would not let slide.

Schedule. Sessions on the month
  1. staysClose reviewThe books tied out before anyone talks about next quarter
  2. CashThe weeks ahead, read from what has already cleared
  3. One decisionA hire, a price, or a piece of equipment
  4. OctoberThe year priced while the year can still move
Shape only. The marked row is the meeting that keeps the year from drifting. No client figure is printed on these rows.

An hour holds no license

Naming a meeting and giving it a job is ordinary work, and nothing about it comes with a CPA license, which this desk does not hold. Audits, reviews, compilations and assurance reports stay with a firm that does hold one, and if a quote you were given promised any of those, you'll hear so before a month is discussed. Setting payroll up on a provider you own is part of the job; pressing the button each period is yours. The fuller wording sits on the disclosures page.

What you are holding at the end

Breadth here is a close, a cash look, and a return that reads the same year. Height is refusing to spend the October meeting on last month's coding.

Said in your words

I wanted a part time chief financial officer on call. I can see I wanted the meetings on that strip, and I wanted them to stay put.
