# Growth should improve the business, not blur the numbers.

## Summary

More customers, people and commitments create more financial complexity. If reporting and forecasting do not keep pace, growth can consume cash and hide weakening margins before management sees the problem.

## Common signs that support is needed

- Revenue is rising but cash does not seem to improve at the same rate
- Management reporting is delayed, inconsistent or too high level
- Hiring, expansion and investment decisions are being made without an integrated forecast
- Different products, customers or departments have different economics that are not visible
- Leadership needs more financial challenge but is not ready for a full-time CFO

## What a stronger finance function should provide

### Margin visibility

Understand where growth is creating value and where it is absorbing resources.

### Cash foresight

See the working-capital and funding effect of the operating plan.

### Management accountability

Give leaders consistent measures, commentary and ownership of variances.

### Decision support

Test major commitments before they become difficult to reverse.
