The Weekly Scorecard Principle
Monthly reviews are essential, but weekly tracking catches drift early. Small correction cycles prevent end-of-quarter surprises.
Your weekly dashboard should stay concise and decision-focused, not overloaded with accounting detail.
Core Metrics to Review
Track margin quality, receivable movement, and expense velocity in one place. These are direct levers for short-term control.
- Gross margin trend by week
- Receivables aging movement
- Collections vs billings
- Expense run rate vs plan
- Cash available runway
Execution Cadence
Keep a fixed weekly finance review with owners and action deadlines. Metrics without accountability do not improve outcomes.
Use one source of truth so teams are aligned on the same numbers and definitions.
