The 4 signals every finance leader needs

Most finance teams find out about a margin or cash problem the same way everyone else does — when the P&L lands and it's already too late to do anything about it. But the best finance teams in distribution aren't waiting for month-end. They're watching for the signal weeks before it becomes a number they have to explain.

In this session, former CFO and Phocas Subject Matter Expert Nick Aversano breaks down the four key signals that turn finance from a reporting function into an operating partner — and shows exactly what each one looks like in a live dashboard, before it ever reaches the financial statements.

We'll cover:

• Early margin compression — how to spot which branch, product or rep is compressing margin mid-week, not at month end
• Mid-month budget overruns — catching a department creeping over budget while there's still time to course-correct
• Department spend spikes — giving teams visibility into their own numbers so finance isn't the bottleneck for every spend question
• Rising cash pressure — spotting DSO creep early and modeling the forward cash impact before a change shows up in the actuals

This webinar is for finance leaders, controllers and FP&A teams in distribution and manufacturing who want to spend less time explaining what happened and more time getting ahead of it.
