Financial Data to Reconciled Board Slides
Turn financial workbooks into a programmatic board deck with source-linked metrics, variance bridges, and tie-out QA.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can help you build a board deck from your financial data. You'd typically want slides covering your key metrics—revenue, growth, profitability, cash position, maybe a P&L breakdown. It's good to show trends over time and call out any significant variances. You'd want to end with a forward-looking statement and any asks you have for the board. If you share your financial data, we can talk about the story you want to tell and structure it accordingly. There's a lot of flexibility in how to present this.
BOARD PRESENTATION DECK - Q2 2026 RESULTS (Autogenerated from financial data source) DECK STRUCTURE: 15 slides DATA SOURCE: Connected to Stripe + custom revenue ledger LAST UPDATED: 2026-07-31, 11:47am UTC QA STATUS: All numbers tied-out. Zero placeholders. SLIDE 1: COVER Title: Q2 2026 Board Meeting | Date: 2026-07-31 | Company: AgentVolt SLIDE 2: KEY METRICS AT A GLANCE • ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue): 2.8M (+78% YoY) vs budget 2.6M [+8% beat] • MRR: 234K • Customers: 412 (+22% since Q1) • Gross margin: 72% (budget: 70% [+2% beat]) • Burn rate: 485K/month (improving; was 520K in Q1) SLIDE 3: REVENUE TREND (Line chart) Q2 revenue: 687K | Trend: +18% QoQ | Chart shows 8-quarter trajectory Seasonal dip expected in Q3 (historical avg -12%) SLIDE 4: CUSTOMER ACQUISITION • New customers Q2: 67 • CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost): 1,840 USD • LTV: 42,000 USD (LTV/CAC ratio: 23:1 — excellent) • Payback period: 5.2 months SLIDE 5: CHURN & RETENTION • Logo churn: 3.2% monthly (target <4%, achieved) • Revenue churn: 2.1% (high-value accounts sticking) • NRR (Net Revenue Retention): 108% (logo expansion is strong) SLIDE 6: PROFITABILITY WATERFALL Starting point: 687K revenue - COGS: 195K (28% = excellent margins) - Gross profit: 492K (72%) - OpEx (Sales): 156K - OpEx (Eng): 189K - OpEx (G&A): 142K - EBITDA: -95K (improving from -148K in Q1) SLIDE 7: BURN RATE & RUNWAY • Monthly burn: 485K • Cash on hand: 3.2M (current funding round) • Runway: 6.6 months (at flat revenue) • Runway: 12+ months (if Q3 grows 15% as projected) • Action: Series B pipeline target 10M USD (reduces burn pressure by Q4) SLIDE 8: VARIANCE ANALYSIS (Budget vs Actual) • Revenue beat: +8% vs budget (+687K actual vs +636K budget) • Explanation: Faster customer onboarding in mid-market segment • COGS miss: -3% worse than expected (-195K actual vs -189K budget) • Explanation: Higher AWS costs due to unexpected spike in compute usage (data export features). Mitigated via query optimization sprinted in July. • G&A miss: +12% higher than budget (+142K vs +127K budget) • Explanation: Legal fees for pilot partnership (50K one-time cost) SLIDE 9: MARKET EXPANSION • Domestic (US): 73% of ARR | 5% YoY growth • International (EU, APAC): 27% of ARR | 15% YoY growth (outpacing domestic) • Net new markets entered: UK, Germany, Australia (pilots in Q2) SLIDE 10: UNIT ECONOMICS SUMMARY SEGMENT: Enterprise (50+ seat purchases) • ACV (Annual Contract Value): 45,000 USD • Contribution margin: 74% • Sales cycle: 3.2 months SEGMENT: Mid-market (10-49 seats) • ACV: 12,000 USD • Contribution margin: 71% • Sales cycle: 6 weeks SEGMENT: SMB (1-9 seats) • ACV: 2,400 USD • Contribution margin: 68% • Sales cycle: 1 week (self-serve) • Churn: 8% (higher than other segments; watch closely) SLIDE 11: HEADCOUNT & HIRING PLAN Current headcount: 28 FTE Q2 hires: 3 (slower than planned due to market slowdown) Q3 hiring plan: 5 FTE (2 Sales, 2 Eng, 1 Ops) Total projected end-of-2026: 38 FTE (33% growth YoY) Headcount burn per FTE: 18K/month (all-in salary + benefits + ops) SLIDE 12: RISKS & MITIGATIONS • RISK: SMB churn at 8% is unsustainable MITIGATION: Dedicated onboarding flow launching Aug 15. Target: reduce churn to 4% by Q4. • RISK: AWS compute costs spiked in Q2 MITIGATION: Query optimization complete. Expected savings: 20K/month starting Aug. • RISK: Series B fundraising environment tightening MITIGATION: Pivot to customer expansion revenue if needed. NRR 108% gives runway flexibility. SLIDE 13: FORWARD GUIDANCE Q3 2026 projections (note: not a guarantee): • Expected revenue: 720K (+5% QoQ, accounting for seasonal Q3 dip) • Expected customer count: 435 (+6% net growth) • Expected burn rate: 460K/month (improving via cost saves) • Expected runway (end Q3): 7+ months (better than today) SLIDE 14: BOARD ASKS 1. Approve headcount plan (38 FTE by EOY). Hiring pace: 5 in Q3, 3 in Q4. 2. Approve capital allocation: 500K toward performance marketing (expected ROAS 4:1). 3. Strategic partnership discussion: Customer integration with Zapier. Requires API audit (8 weeks engineering). Approval needed for resource reallocation. SLIDE 15: CLOSING Q2 was our strongest quarter since founding. We beat revenue by 8%, achieved profitability targets ahead of plan, and expanded into three new markets. Runway is solid for Series B. Next board meeting: Oct 31, 2026 (Q3 results). NOTE: All numbers are samples and for illustration. Not financial advice.
About this skill
Your workbook balances, but the board deck has a different revenue total, an unexplained margin change, and a runway figure nobody can reproduce. This skill turns financial inputs into a programmatic presentation whose tables, charts, and commentary use the same controlled calculations.
What it does
- Normalizes periods, currencies, units, account signs, and actual-versus-plan versions before calculating results.
- Builds a metric register linking each financial figure to its source and calculation.
- Reconciles P&L totals, cash movements, percentage-point changes, and variance bridges.
- Converts results into takeaway-led slides covering performance, cash, outlook, risks, and board decisions.
- Generates slides programmatically when an execution environment is available, or provides complete generation code when it is not.
- Checks repeated figures, chart data, rounding, unsupported commentary, and unresolved placeholders before delivery.
What you get
A board presentation sized to your meeting, plus a concise reconciliation report identifying passed checks and unresolved issues. Full builds include a source-to-slide metric map and reproducible generation logic; unavailable data stays visibly unresolved.
Best for
CFOs, FP&A teams, finance operators, and founders turning monthly or quarterly financial workbooks into repeatable board reporting.

description: >-
Builds financial board presentations programmatically from a controlled dataset, using source-linked metric definitions, reconciled variance bridges, and source-to-slide QA. Use when the user says "build a board deck from this workbook", "turn our P&L into slides", "make the quarterly finance presentation", "my deck numbers don't match the model", "explain actuals versus budget", "update last month's board slides", or "check that every slide ties out".
