How to build a budget for every department without explains every variance

​I'm Josh Aharonoff, a CPA and Microsoft MVP. I run Mighty Digits, a fractional CFO firm that manages finance for 35 to 40 startups at any given time.

​

​Leadership points at a line and asks whose budget it came out of. After this session, you answer that in the room, and the department head explains the rest.
In one hour I'll walk you through the full departmental budgeting process I've run across more than 100 engagements:

• ​How to get department heads explaining their own variances

• ​The two ways to set this up, and the one that turns into a trap

• ​The one extra field that tells you who owns every transaction

• ​Why the budget you approve should never change

• ​The 3 things I collect from every department head, and the one question I've stopped asking

​Everyone who registers gets the recording and the Excel file I run this on: a budget P&L broken out by department, with a dashboard for each one.

​Plus, James Medler from the Revolut Business product team joins me to talk about how finance teams hand out corporate cards and still keep control of the spending.
