The financial controller and CFO’s toolkit: lean practices to transform your finance team, 3rd ed.

Abstract

This book is a third version, as it follows on from Pareto’s 80/20 Rule for Corporate Accountants and Winning CFOs: Implementing and Applying Better Practices. The book has been restructured to facilitate easier implementation and is accompanied with a 100-page toolkit. The reader can access, free of charge, a PDF of the suggested templates, checklists and templates from www.davidparmenter.com/The_Financial_Controller_and_CFO’s_Toolkit. The better practices in this book are ignored at your peril, as they are based on thewisdom and better practices of over 5,000 accountantswhomI have met through delivering my workshops and webcasts around the world. Iwould like to add that few, if any, of these practiceswere used by mewhen I was a corporate accountant; thus senior management did not shed a tearwhen I left the organization. It ismymission to ensure CFOs, financial controllers, and management accountants leave a legacy that remains long after they have left the organization.
