Annual operating budget
For an owner or finance lead preparing next year: revenue and costs by month and by team, built from this year's figures and each budget owner's drivers, every assumption written down, capital purchases listed apart, the whole checked against cash, and the questions leadership has to settle.
Audit preparation
Before the external auditors arrive, your controller holds one audit pack: every request with its owner, date, document and status, the control evidence they will test, last year's findings and what was done, and draft answers to the questions they will ask. People approve everything before it goes.
Budget-versus-actual variance commentary
Before the month's results go to management, the finance lead gets written commentary on every line that moved past the threshold: the figures, the budget owner's explanation marked confirmed or to be confirmed, a bridge from budget to actual, and the questions still open. No cause is invented.
Business insurance renewal review
Before the business insurance renews, the owner gets one pack: every policy with insurer, limits, deductibles, premium and dates; renewal terms beside expiring ones, every change marked; what changed in the business; claims; and questions for the broker. The broker and the owner decide all cover.
Business line investment review
For leadership with several business lines: each line set side by side on one basis (fit with strategy, finance-reviewed results, shared resources, open questions) and placed as invest, investigate or reduce commitment, for the leadership team to discuss and decide.
Chargeback response pack
When a card dispute lands, the store owner or finance lead gets one pack: the dispute matched to its order, the evidence its reason calls for marked found or missing, a response drafted well inside the deadline, and the store's dispute ratio for the month. A person decides whether to contest and submits it.
Cost of poor quality worksheet
An owner or operations lead who senses that rework, scrap and returns are costly gets one worksheet: the failure costs already on record, sorted by category, with estimates, gaps and unresolved allocations listed. The owner decides what to fix first.
Creator campaign performance report
When a creator campaign closes, the marketing lead gets one report built from the store's own orders: what each creator brought in and cost, every creator ranked under a metric set beforehand, and a proposed next step for each. Every number is labelled measured, supplied or estimated.
Creator commission statement
Each month, the finance lead gets a draft statement of what every creator has earned, worked from the store's orders export: commission under the programme's rules, flat fees, amounts carried under the minimum, and a payout list. A person approves it; finance pays.
Discount request review
Before a price below list goes to a customer, whoever approves it gets one page: the discount and what it costs in margin, every clause of your own written policy met or missed, who approves and in what order, and what the customer gives in return. A person decides; nothing is sent.
Employee health plan comparison
For an owner or people lead at renewal: the broker's health plan options next to each other, with premiums split between company and employee, deductibles, out-of-pocket limits, network notes, the cost to the company and to a typical employee at low, middle and high use, and questions for the broker.
Hiring pipeline status report
Each week your people lead or founder sees every open role on one page: applications at each stage, days open against the target, roles running late, pass-through between stages, which sources lead to interviews, and every blocker with its owner. It counts; it never assesses a candidate.
Investor update
Each month or quarter, the founder gets a drafted update for investors: the headline, key figures against plan and last period, cash and runway, wins, problems told plainly with what is being done, and specific asks. Every figure comes from the company's own reports. The founder approves and sends it.
Journal entry preparation
At month end, your bookkeeper hands the controller every proposed journal entry ready to review: balanced lines on accounts from your own chart, the arithmetic and the document behind each amount, whether it reverses, and who approves it. Nothing is posted until a person approves.
Operations KPI scorecard
Once a month the operations manager gets one red-amber-green page for the ten or fewer measures that run the operation: each value worked out from your own exports, its trend, what moved and why in the owner's words, and the action agreed for every red. You set the measures and decide the actions.
Payout reconciliation for an online store
Each month the bookkeeper gets every payout from the store's processors and marketplaces taken apart and tied to the bank: the orders, refunds, chargebacks and fees inside it, each fee checked against the agreed rate, every difference listed with its evidence. A person posts the entries and raises any dispute.
Payroll preparation and timesheet review
Before each payroll run, the owner gets one sheet built from the timesheet and roster exports: hours by person and type, every missing punch and odd entry raised as a question, and an estimated total. Nothing is keyed in, submitted or paid until a person approves.
Price change review
Before prices change, the owner or finance lead gets one review: the margin on each product or service from the sales and cost exports, how costs have moved, what each proposed price does to sales and gross profit across a stated range of customer responses, and dated competitor prices. It recommends no price.
Product landed cost worksheet
After an import shipment lands, the owner or bookkeeper gets one worksheet: freight, duty, brokerage, insurance and inbound fees from the invoices spread over each product by a stated method, the landed unit cost beside the cost the store records, and the margin left. A person updates any cost.
Product pricing options
A product owner weighing how to price or package a product gets one options brief: what each customer group uses, the willingness-to-pay evidence held with stated kept apart from observed, what each option would bill every account, the uncertainties and the tests. It recommends no price.
Sales pipeline review
Each week your sales lead sees the whole open pipeline on one page: value and age by stage, what moved since last week, the deals at risk and coverage against your target. Every figure traces to your export, and the forecast number is left for a person to commit.
Slow-moving stock and markdown plan
Before a seasonal reset, the merchandiser or store owner gets one plan from the sales and stock exports: each item's sell-through and weeks of cover, the cash tied up in dead and slow stock, and a markdown plan in dated steps with the margin each leaves and a date to stop. The owner decides every price.
SOP exception capture
Turn what your most experienced person does with the awkward cases into an exception register for one procedure. Once the owner approves it, every colleague handles those cases the way your best person does.
Stock count reconciliation
After a physical count, the bookkeeper and the warehouse or store lead get every item counted beside the quantity and value in the books, each difference in units and money, what to check for it, and the items to recount. Nothing is adjusted until a person approves.
