Every business will have business-specific financial areas that apply to them. When you look at your business there should already be a reporting structure with regard to the financial results. In a lot of cases the strong focus on financials leads to an unbalanced focus on the rest of the business.

Examples of financial key performance areas are:

• financial results (weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly)
• return on investment
• cash flow
• cost of sales
• overhead costs
