Nice compilation; CRO and CMO are essentially the same in my opinion. You left out the CTO (And Chief Plant/Facility Manager), I believe every of the 5 ASSET Category should have representation in the C-Suite along side the CEO and COO. The CTO is integral for Digital Transformation and IT infrastructure, or is it because it doesn’t have much financial KPI? 😂

This is awesome. Promptly saved. Now, I personally would not put "SEO Keyword Ranking for Important Terms" in all CEO KPIs. Certainly an extremely important metric for say, an e-commerce shop CEO. But a consulting firm that gets big accounts from industry relationships wouldn't want their CEO to be pre-occupied with some SEO term, as SEO would not be a major revenue driver. Feel free to offer a rebuttal, anyone.

Are these really "Key" or is that a misnomer ... biggest issue I've seen is too many metrics/KPIs and it becomes more 'noise' + there are minimal actions based on trends up/down.

This post is a great reminder of the importance of measuring the right metrics to manage any business. I appreciate the breakdown of KPIs for different C-Suite roles. It helps to align individual goals with organizational objectives, drive individual performance and improve organizational performance. It is also worth noting that investment is crucial to any business's growth, so it's great to have databases with investor contacts available. Thank you for sharing this valuable information.

EBITDA gets adjusted all the time. But Adjusted EBITDA is still not cash. ⏬⏬⏬💎Get this infographic and many more strategic finance gems in my weekly newsletter. Sign up for The Finance Gem 💎 and get my cheat sheet pack as a welcome gift here: https://lnkd.in/eC_ihy6y⏬⏬⏬Here are the 20 most common adjustments to be aware of: 1// Provisions and ReservesGuarantees. Future tax obligations. Asset Retirement Obligations. Asset impairment.🎯 These are potential future cash payment obligations, but while they shouldn’t reduce your current EBITDA, the future changes in their associated balance sheet accounts might.2// Non-operating income🎯 This is usually passive income which isn’t related to your company’s core operations.🎯 If your company isn’t actively in the business of generating that income, it shouldn’t be part of your EBITDA.3// Unrealized gains or losses🎯 These are increases or decreases in the value of an asset or a liability that you haven’t yet sold or settled.🎯 Paper gains and losses don’t belong in EBITDA.4// One-time revenue or expenses🎯These are the result of non-recurring transactions.🎯 If they aren’t repeatable and the objective is to assess the economic value of recurring cash flows, they may not belong in EBITDA.5// Foreign exchange gains or losses🎯 These may be the result of foreign exchange transactions outside your company’s core operations. 🎯 Alternatively, if your business is carried out in international markets, FX gains and losses definitely belong in your company’s EBITDA.6// Goodwill impairment7// Asset write-downs8// Litigation or insurance expenses outside the regular course of business.🎯 These are the result of non-recurring transactions such as one-time lawsuits, large financing deals or outlier commercial contracts.9// Excessive Owner compensation 10// Share-based compensation11// Below Market Compensation12// Personal Expenses13// Personal Travel and Entertainment Expenses14// Pension Expenses15// Professional Fees16// Aggressively expensed/capitalized items17// Fair Market Rent18// Tax Minimization Strategies19// Severance Costs 20// Percentage Of Completion Revenues🎯 This includes the revenues you recognized on long-term contractual engagements based on the percentage of costs incurred relative to the total estimated contractual costs. 🎯 Your high interim EBITDA on Percentage of Completion contracts is always at risk of reversing into losses resulting from underestimated project costs.➡️➡️➡️ Get the complete list breakdown in this Saturday issue of The Finance GemWhat would you add?______________________________________________________▶Visit my website for 5* finance masterclasses, checklists and cheat sheets➕ Follow me for strategic finance, business, and cash flow insights📌Grab my viral Finance infographics: https://lnkd.in/eC_ihy6y♻ 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞, 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 to share with your network ♻
