Introduction – The December Dash
Every December, finance, marketing, HR, and operations teams face the same silent countdown: turn a year’s worth of spreadsheets, CRM exports, and half-written commentary into a board-ready deck before the holiday break. A 2023 CFO Alliance survey found that 63 % of companies spend more than 40 staff hours polishing year-end reports, with 28 % missing at least one internal deadline. “Year-End Report Rescue” is the AI service built to end the scramble: upload any combination of raw data, commentary, and brand assets by 6 p.m., and wake up to a fully formatted, executive-level PowerPoint deck—complete with charts, footnotes, and speaker notes—before your first coffee the next morning.
