Nobody knows how serious business is better than finance and accounting pros. Between ever-changing IRS regs, protecting against financial fraud and making sure your company gets every penny it’s earned, there’s a lot of room for error.

That’s where we come in. For every financial snafu that’s committed, there’s a lesson to be learned — whether it’s how to improve on already strong processes or simply to “not do what that person did.”

Consider us your guide on how to make Finance better, paired with a generous serving of “I can’t believe they thought they’d get away with that!” Every day, we’ll be covering topics like:

“They’re saying WHAT is exempt??” — With constantly-updated regs from the Fed and states, it’s no wonder companies look for exemptions and tax breaks in some odd places. We’ll separate what works from what’s a sure-fire way to raise some red flags.

Tech failure – What’s the one area that’s made your job easier? Technology. What’s the one area that sometimes makes you want to consider a career in cheese-making or professional sailboat racing? Technology. Not every tech implementation makes things easier, but with our help, you’ll be a Finance dynamo of the digital age.

Contract disputes — It’d be like a vacation if finance pros only had to deal with numbers. Unfortunately, there’s always a third party who wants to throw a wrench into the works, whether it’s a vendor, bank or employee. Here are the best — and worst — ways to handle them.

“Seemed like a good idea at the time” — Whether it’s a new way to speed T&E reporting or a change to the forecasting schedule, sometimes the best laid plans don’t look so good from a different angle. We’ll help you avoid the dangerous pitfalls.

Enjoy your look around; have a good laugh. If you’ve got an even better way to steer clear of snafus, let us know your thoughts in the comments section. And if there’s something you’d like to see us cover, drop us a line at CFOSnafu@pbp.com.
