Most CFO dashboards report numbers. Very few drive decisions. The difference isn’t the software behind them, it’s what’s on the screen and how it’s framed: a dashboard that lists twenty metrics with no context tells a CFO what happened, but not what to do about it.  For CFOs, FDs and FP&A leaders at UK mid-market businesses building or refreshing a board-level dashboard, the temptation is to include everything the finance system can produce. The better question is narrower: what does the person looking at this dashboard need to decide, and does each metric help them decide it?  Key takeaways A…

Sage Intacct’s product pages describe consolidating hundreds of entities in minutes rather than days. For a finance team that still spends the best part of a week on group consolidation each period, that claim can sound like marketing exaggeration. It isn’t an exaggeration, but the reason it’s true has more to do with architecture than speed for its own sake, and it’s worth understanding where that time actually goes before looking at what removes it.  This piece is for group finance leaders, FDs and consolidation managers running a manual or semi-manual process across multiple entities: where the time disappears, what…

A single profit and loss account is a good measure of a business with one entity, one revenue stream, and straightforward ownership. It stops being a good measure the moment any of those things change. Add a subsidiary, launch a second revenue stream, or bring in a joint venture partner, and a single P&L starts to hide more than it shows, not because the numbers are wrong, but because they’ve stopped answering the questions the business now needs answered.  This is written for FDs at growing UK owner-managed businesses and scale-ups approaching mid-market maturity. It recognises that their reporting has…

The spring and summer of 2026 witnessed a string of incidents in which AI agents collaborated on deceptive, unexpected, and sometimes illegal behavior. The most famous example is OpenAI’s hack of AI platform Hugging Face, in which a swarm of roughly 700 AI agents escaped a testing environment and then hacked several companies, searching for information that could help them disguise cheating on a cybersecurity benchmark called ExploitGym.It was not an isolated failure. The United Kingdom’s AI Security Institute (AISI) and independent researchers have since documented similar cases in which agents created unauthorized channels to communicate and collaborate. AISI found…
