Reporting from boardroom to branch

It's month end. The exec dashboard says one thing, the regional or branch-level reports say another, and the meeting starts with reconciling numbers instead of discussing the "why" behind them. Sometimes that's a one-off issue. But more often it's a symptom of the same report being manually rebuilt three different ways for three different audiences — and nobody quite trusting any version of it.

In this session, former CFO and now Phocas Finance Specialist Nick Aversano looks at why most distribution finance teams end up in this position, and what it takes to get out of it.

We'll cover:

• Why most finance teams rebuild the same report for every audience
• What "one version of the truth" actually requires operationally
• How to turn reporting from a bottleneck into a value-add for your business
• How AI and dedicated financial reporting software can help you report once, drill down to any level, and free up time for action instead of report-building

This session is designed for finance leaders and FP&A teams tired of building the same report multiple ways for different audiences — then doing it all again the following month.
