Big THREE Anita Maddock CFO03 102025

Big 3 wish list William in the new year because we aren't really trading yet !

1. Financial Statements Overview:
   This includes the key financial reports—the income statement (profit and loss statement), balance sheet, and cash flow statement. These reports provide a snapshot of the company's financial health, showing revenue, expenses, profitability, assets, liabilities, equity, and liquidity. Board members focus on trends, variances against budgets or forecasts, and key ratios like current ratio and debt-to-equity to understand financial stability and performan2.

2. Strategic Financial Summary and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
   A concise executive summary highlighting key financial results, progress on strategic initiatives, and important metrics such as EBITDA, burn rate, runway, or others linked to business goals. This section tells the financial story and ties performance data to company strategy, enabling the board to see how financial outcomes align with broader business plans and what decisions require their input

3. Cash Flow and Forecast Reports: Detailed cash flow analysis showing inflows and outflows to underline liquidity status and ensure the company can meet its obligations. Forecasts comparing actual results against projections with variance explanations help the board anticipate future financial needs, assess business risks, and support planning for investment or cost-control measures

So my Big 3 reality check

1) Do all the shops report to you as your want ?

2) Do the Payment procedures from the SOP work for you?

3) Is Stripe and Xero working for you from Wufoo ?
