Overview
This monthly finance report template helps a CFO turn ledger figures into a short story that the CEO and board can act on. It runs in the order readers need: the current state against budget and last year, priorities for the team, systems, people and a roadmap with stage gates. Each page opens with a headline that states the point, and each chart carries its source, so a treasurer's summary or a KPI dashboard can follow the same pattern.
Every page holds sample figures for Zephyrine Holdings, a fictional group, so you can see what good looks like: March revenue of £18.4M, EBITDA of £2.6M against a £2.4M budget, cash of £14.2M and net debt at 1.3 times against a 2.5 times covenant. Replace the actuals, owners and dates with your own, keep each forecast change written in the open, and delete any page your committee does not need.
Useful for
- A monthly report to the CEO that leads with the headline, the forecast and the decisions needed
- A board pack section for the audit chair covering cash, covenant headroom and the top risks
- A new CFO's first 90 days, setting team priorities, systems and a roadmap for the function
What's included
- Current state: budget and prior-year variances, with a seven-month debtor days trend
- Priorities: three focus areas for the year and the status of 18 workstreams
- Systems: the invoice-to-payment process map with approval limits by value
- Team: finance owners and the steering group, with what each person signs off
- Roadmap: five milestones and the stage gates, with a checklist and owners
- Make it yours: a guide to replacing the sample figures, which you then delete

Questions
Is this CFO report template free to use?
Yes. Make a copy in Google Docs and it is yours to edit, with no sign-up and no charge. Keep the headings and layout, and replace the sample text with your own figures.
Can I use it for a charity or club treasurer report?
Yes. The cash, budget variance and asks pages adapt to a treasurer's summary, with income, spend and balance shown in plain figures. Remove the forecast and roadmap pages if your committee does not need them.
Are the company, people and figures real?
No. Zephyrine Holdings, its people, the email addresses and every figure are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own before you share the report with anyone.
