From cfo-finance
Use this skill when a CFO, VP Finance, Controller, or Head of Finance needs to orchestrate the full financial operations of a company — from strategic financial planning and investor reporting to day-to-day control of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, tax compliance, and revenue operations. This is the top-level financial orchestrator that commissions all finance sub-skills, maintains the single source of truth for all company numbers, drives budget allocation, manages cash flow, ensures regulatory compliance, and produces board-ready financial reports. Trigger this skill when anyone needs a comprehensive view of company finances, a board pack, a fundraising data room, or needs to coordinate across invoicing, payroll, commissions, procurement, taxes, and expenses simultaneously.
