Sample pack

Judge the product by the artifact.

Everything on this site describes a monthly CFO Pack. This page hands you one. It came out of a real cycle run on a demonstration engagement: a 14-page read with the client's name and figures replaced, and everything else exactly as it shipped.

Read it the way an owner would. If it does not earn twenty minutes of your attention, neither will Larch.

What is inside

Fourteen pages, in a deliberate order.

The pack opens with the sentence that matters and ends with the appendix that proves it. Numbers first would be a dashboard. Story first would be a newsletter. The order below is neither, on purpose.

An excerpt

Pages two and three, as they shipped.

The opening page and the KPI spine from the sample. Figures fabricated, voice and layout untouched.

The month in one page p. 2 of 14

A good month that cost more than it should have.

Revenue came in at the top of the forecast range on the strength of the two municipal jobs closing early. Cash is comfortable through September even with the equipment deposit out the door.

The watch item is labour on service work. Overtime ran 14% of service hours for the second straight month, and it is the same two crews both times. This is a scheduling question before it becomes a margin problem, and it is the first thing we would raise on the monthly call.

Waiting on you

The shop lease renewal (numbers on p. 9, our recommendation attached) and a yes or no on the apprentice posting before the fall intake closes.

Margin and overtime are the same story told twice. One conversation with the scheduler likely fixes both.
