A benchmark is a question, not a verdict. Knowing that your close takes four days longer than a peer group tells you where to look, not what is wrong - and a finance function that is cheap relative to revenue may be under-invested rather than efficient. This series is about reading the numbers properly: what each measure actually captures, which comparisons are fair, and how maturity differs from cost.
The figures themselves live on the finance function benchmarks page - days to close, cost of finance and headcount, every figure sourced. To place your own function against them, the 2-Minute Snapshot scores it across seven areas.
