Workflow

Summary

The Finance Director workflow is split into two sections:
  • Finance Director Responsibilities, summarised as maintaining and making sure existing financial systems are operational at all times.
  • Monthly Tasks, executable tasks for the financial structure and processes of the organisation.

    • Experience of using systems is difficult or time consuming for users.
    • Users don't get paid.
  • Changes to the org. (non-finance) systems impact negatively and overall financial health of the organisation - e.g. overspend.
  • Changes to the org. (non-finance) systems have legal or tax repercussions that could impact the organisation.
  • Financial information isn't shared with users in the organisation and accessible.
