这一场在哪里,发生了什么?

周四上午 10 点,芝加哥一家中型制造公司总部的会议室;CFO 下午 2 点要见银行

你是财务经理,要当面向 CFO Diane 汇报第三季度现金流:经营现金流比预算少了 120 万美元,主要因为最大客户推迟付款。Diane 下午要见银行,想马上知道缺口有多大、多久能补上。资金主管 Rohit 也在,他手里有银行授信的数据。

和谁对话?

Diane
美国口音。CFO,干脆利落,爱追问数字,下午要见银行
Rohit
印度口音。资金主管兼财务总监助理,手里有银行授信数据,偶尔补充

你要做到什么?

一句话说清缺口;讲明两个原因;给出 10 月底最低现金余额,说明仍高于安全线;提出应对方案(备用授信 + 延长供应商账期),扛住她对利息成本的追问,争取她同意;承诺每周一发滚动预测,回款一到就汇报。

这一场轮到你开口 5 次:

  1. 报缺口
  2. 讲原因
  3. 给预测
  4. 提方案
  5. 定汇报
