Finance & Accounting

Journey (finance / accounting flow)

Weekly check-ins (close notes, audit prep, desk journals)
    → Burnout scoring (exhaustion, detachment, efficacy)
    → Blocker extraction (deadline stacking, control gaps, tool friction)
    → Pathways (automation playbooks, role rotations, calm sprints)
    → Lead brief (trend + blockers + suggested moves)
    → Follow-up pulse (short async, bi-weekly)

Challenges we watch

• Deadline stacking: quarter/annual close compression, concurrent audits.
• Precision pressure: fear of errors, rework loops, review fatigue.
• Tool friction: ERP swaps, spreadsheet sprawl, brittle macros.
• Compliance overload: rapidly changing regs, documentation drag.

Interventions we return

• Workload shaping: stagger deliverables; redistribute reconciliations.
• Automation nudges: surface playbooks for repeat entries/roll-forwards.
• Role rotations: rotate off audit prep after heavy cycles; pair on reviews.
• Recovery windows: lighter sprint post-close; cap meeting load.

Inputs that work best

• 40–120 words from close retros, audit prep notes, weekly desk journals.
• Keep identifiers out unless cleared; use IDs not names.

Safeguards

• Decision support only; keep managers/people ops in the loop.
• No raw-text storage by default; enable explicitly if needed.
• Respect your escalation paths for acute distress or compliance issues.
