The Finance Gem đź’Ž #109: The 3 CEO Gaps and How to Trust the CFOs Numbers

in partnership with

Look Forward. Build Value

Hi there, 

A CEO, a CFO, and a finance lead walk into a bar.

The CEO says, “I’ll order once I can trust that the forecast is right.”
The CFO says, “I’ll order after I see the cash impact.”
The finance lead says, “I’ll order once last month’s numbers reconcile.”

The bartender just shrugs:
“Sounds like nobody’s drinking tonight…”

That’s most companies. The forecast looks professional, the reports look polished—yet no one trusts them enough to make a real decision.

So here’s what I’m covering in today’s issue:

  • How CEOs Lose Trust (and Enterprise Value ) Without Realizing It

  • Enrollment for the final 2025 cohort of The CEO Financial Intelligence Program

  • This Thursday’s free masterclass: The 10 CEO Mistakes
