Creating a Flash Report

Creating a flash report is an essential part of being a financial leader. Managers and ownership often ask CFOs and controllers, “how are we doing?” While this seems like a simple enough question, there lie many devils in the details. The key is to be able to communicate above the details while being neck-deep in them. A way to accomplish this is by creating a simple one or two page flash report to easily communicate the myriad details of your company so that an informed user can see the true picture of the company’s performance and its position in the marketplace.
