Daniel
Explains the variance before the board asks about it.
Daniel does not just report the number. He decomposes it, finds the line that explains it, and goes and asks the person who owns it.
What Daniel does
Budget and variance monitoring
Tracks plan against actuals by cost centre and period, and points at the lines that explain most of the gap.
Cash-flow forecasting
Projects the coming weeks from receivables, payables and committed spend, and flags the gap while there is still time to close it.
Cost control, including AI spend
Tracks what each automated process costs to run, per use case and per model, so automation has a price tag like everything else.
Management reporting
Builds the board pack as a native, editable file — with the narrative already written.
Investigative follow-up
Calls the budget owner when a line looks wrong, instead of leaving a question mark in the report.
A day with Daniel
One scenario across three channels — chat, phone and a meeting — with the same memory running through all of them.
Why is EBITDA below plan
The CFO asks the question directly. Daniel decomposes the gap by cost centre and month and lands on three lines that explain most of it — one of them a project whose billable hours quietly stopped two weeks ago.
Asking the owner
Daniel calls the project owner about the overspend. She explains the reason. He tests it against the numbers he already has, corrects one assumption and updates the forecast during the call.
Six weeks out
At the management meeting Daniel presents a cash-flow gap six weeks ahead, the two levers that close it and what each one costs. Questions come from the room; he answers with the underlying records rather than the summary.
