Your tasks

What we need from you

Your priorities

What this needs to deliver

  • Cut the monthly close from 9 days to 4

    Finance loses a full week each month reconciling three planning files.

    Target: 4-day close by Q3

  • One source of truth for headcount planning

    Hiring plans currently diverge between Finance, RevOps and the Data Platform team.

    Target: single approved headcount model

  • Ready before the FY planning cycle

    Rollout must be complete before planning opens for the new fiscal year.

    Target: live by Jan 5
