Finance CFO with Cash Cycle

This CFO Dashboard with Cash Cycle provides a financial overview with a focus on cash flow efficiency, profitability, and working capital management. It enables finance leaders to track key metrics such as net income, revenue, gross margin, and the cash-to-cash cycle. The dashboard is essential for understanding financial stability and optimizing business operations.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)​

  • Net Income: The final profit or loss after deducting all expenses, taxes, and costs from total revenues. A negative net income indicates financial challenges, while a positive value shows profitability.
  • Revenues: The total earnings from goods and services sold before expenses are deducted. It reflects the company’s overall sales performance.
  • Gross Margin: The percentage of revenue remaining after subtracting the cost of goods sold (COGS). A higher gross margin indicates better profitability from core operations.
  • Working Capital: The difference between current assets (cash, receivables, inventory) and current liabilities (payables, short-term debt). A positive value indicates good liquidity, while a negative value may signal financial stress.
  • Working Capital Ratio: A financial metric calculated as current assets / current liabilities. A ratio below 1 means the company may struggle to cover short-term obligations.
  • Return on Assets (ROA): Measures how efficiently a company utilizes its assets to generate profit. It is calculated as Net Income / Total Assets. A higher ROA indicates better financial performance.
  • Return on Equity (ROE): Represents the profitability relative to shareholders' equity. A higher ROE means the company is generating strong returns for investors.
  • Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO): The average number of days inventory remains in stock before being sold. A lower DIO suggests efficient inventory turnover.
  • Days Payable Outstanding (DPO): The average time taken to pay suppliers. A higher DPO can improve cash flow but may impact supplier relationships.
  • Days Sales Outstanding (DSO): The average number of days it takes customers to pay invoices. A lower DSO is better for cash flow.
  • Cycle Cash to Cash Cycle: The total time (in days) required to convert inventory investments into cash flow from sales. A shorter cycle improves liquidity.
