Board Pack Friday

Rania Siddiqui · CFO, Meridian Textiles — a board pack due the second Tuesday of every month

The Meridian board meets monthly, and the pack — subsidiary P&Ls, cash positions, covenant schedule, minutes — is assembled by hand from nine spreadsheets the Friday before. Rania has rebuilt the same table of contents eleven times this year.

Board Pack Friday assembles it from the same Drive and Sheets sources her team already maintains, and delivers a reviewable draft before anyone has opened Excel.

Meridian Textiles

Board Pack — June 2026

Assembled Friday 5 June · 34 pages · 9 source files, all current

1. Group snapshot

Consolidated P&L vs budget; variance notes drafted for CFO review.

2. Subsidiary detail — Spinning · Apparel · Home

Standard schedules, same order as always; nothing moves so directors can find things.

3. Cash & covenants

Facility headroom table; one covenant inside 10% buffer is flagged, not buried.

What we’d build

What arrives: an assembled board pack (HTML + PDF), every section built from the source files your team already maintains — with a gap report if any source is stale.
When: the Friday before board week, automatically.
Your part: commentary sections arrive as drafted bullets for the CFO to rewrite; nothing reaches directors unreviewed.

The essentials

A custom build, engineered around your exact systems. Heavier than the productized workflows because your board pack isn’t anyone else’s — the assembly logic is built to your sources and your table of contents.

Build time: 4–6 weeks
Honest note: Assembly, not judgment — it compiles and flags; the reading of the numbers is still the CFO’s job.
