Greg and Blaine dive into financial modeling, budget forecasting, and cash forecasting as essential tools for connecting financial strategies to business purpose. They also discuss the importance of building healthy cash reserves, strengthening treasury practices, and enhancing cash management to ensure stability during uncertainty.
Greg emphasizes the role of KPI tracking, KPI analysis, and financial KPIs combined with modern data visualization and forecasting tools to guide better business outcomes. With practical advice on risk management, risk analysis, and leveraging the right financial technology, this episode provides CFOs, finance leaders, and entrepreneurs with a roadmap to transform raw numbers into clarity—empowering smarter decisions, stronger strategies, and lasting confidence.
