Tutorial — The Weekly Finance Review (20 Minutes)

What This Tool Is For

A short standing routine that keeps surprises small: what to look at, in what order, every week.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Minute 0–2 — Scope: main project, current month, dashboard.

Minute 2–6 — Cash: bank balances and the owed-items list sorted by due date; know what leaves in the next 30 days.

Minute 6–10 — Costs: the week's new entries skimmed for anomalies (duplicates, odd amounts, missing service links).

Minute 10–14 — Pipeline health: sources fresh? Manual drivers current? Subscriptions generated as expected?

Minute 14–18 — One KPI pair examined with intent (rotate weekly: growth+retention, acquisition+payback, margin+volume).

Minute 18–20 — One note written: anything to fix, chase, or raise. The note is the deliverable; reviews without output decay into ritual.

Real-World Example

Scenario: A team runs this every Monday at 9:00. Over one quarter the twenty-minute habit catches: a duplicated invoice (week 2), a stale usage driver (week 5), a subscription still generating for a cancelled tool (week 8), and a paid-channel acquisition cost drifting up before the blended number showed anything (week 11). None of these was a crisis — BECAUSE they were caught at week-scale. That is the entire return on investment of the routine.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Twenty minutes weekly beats four hours quarterly by every measure that matters.
• Rotate the KPI pair so every important pairing gets eyes monthly.
• Keep the notes; a quarter of Monday notes is the most honest operational diary a finance function can have.
