Automating Financial Indicators: The End of Flying Blind
How many times have you made a decision without knowing your true cash position? The tragedy of financial management is the lag: you discover your figures on the 20th of the following month, sometimes only once a year at the annual close, and in the meantime you're flying blind. This training puts an end to that fog. You'll learn to connect your accounting and banking flows to make your data talk, and to turn accounting that looks at the past into a dashboard that illuminates the present moment and anticipates the future.
The approach is concrete and operational. Step by step, you'll build an executive financial cockpit updated every morning. You'll bring to life the indicators that truly determine a company's fate: the Dynamic Aged Balance to know who owes you money and to accelerate collection, the Working Capital Requirement to measure whether your growth is devouring your cash, the Cash Burn Rate to anticipate your financing needs months in advance, and the structure ratios that reassure your bankers. You'll learn to automate their calculation, make them reliable, and present them so they speak for themselves.
By the end of the program, you'll change your stance. You'll no longer spend your days producing figures in fragile spreadsheets exposed to the slightest copy-paste error: you'll analyze them, raise alerts, and propose optimization strategies. You'll become the leader — or the CFO — who sees what's coming, who decides on facts rather than intuition, and who inspires confidence around the table because their figures are accurate, dated today, and impossible to dispute. This is the end of flying blind.
What you'll walk away with
This training doesn't stop at theory: you'll walk away with deliverables ready to use in your company the very next day.
Your financial dashboard — an operational executive cockpit, fed by your own data and automatically refreshed every morning.
Your automated indicators — Aged Balance, Working Capital Requirement, Burn Rate, and structure ratios calculated with no manual entry, reliable and always up to date.
Your smart alerts — thresholds and signals that warn you before the cash problem turns into a crisis.
The pilot's mindset — the method to move from producing figures to making informed decisions, and to defend your trade-offs before the committee and the banks.
Program — 12 sessions of 1 hour
A program that starts from your raw data and leads to a living financial cockpit. You first lay the foundations and the sources, then build each key indicator, and finally orchestrate the dashboard, the alerts, and the piloting mindset that put an end to flying blind.
Module 1 — Foundations & data sources (sessions 1-3)
1. From the balance sheet to real time — why the accounting lag is costly, what Financial Business Intelligence is, and the cockpit you're going to build.
2. Connecting your accounting and banking flows — linking the validated accounting source and bank statements, understanding where reliable data lives.
3. Making the data reliable and clean — eliminating Excel copy-paste and human error, normalizing and preparing a trustworthy calculation base.
Module 2 — The indicators that decide (sessions 4-8)
4. The Dynamic Aged Balance — automating the view of who owes you money (customers) and whom you owe (suppliers), by aging brackets.
5. Collection & payment terms — leveraging the aged balance to accelerate cash-ins and negotiate supplier terms.
6. The Working Capital Requirement (WCR) — automated calculation of the gap between current assets and short-term liabilities: knowing whether growth consumes too much cash.
7. The Cash Burn Rate & the runway — tracking the rate of cash consumption and anticipating financing needs months in advance.
8. The structure ratios — financial autonomy and repayment capacity: the figures that maintain your bankers' confidence.
Module 3 — The cockpit & the piloting (sessions 9-12)
9. Building the executive dashboard — assembling your indicators into a clear view, readable at a glance by the management committee.
10. Automatic refresh every morning — scheduling the daily update so the figures are always dated today, with no intervention.
11. Smart thresholds & alerts — defining signals that warn you before cash pressure turns into a crisis.
12. From data to decision — changing your stance: analyzing, raising alerts, and defending your optimization trade-offs before the committee and the banks.
