Finance data warehouse
A finance data warehouse should encode finance logic, not bury it.
Aldous helps CFOs shape finance data warehouse work around the outputs finance actually owns: board reporting, planning, close, revenue, margin, cash, controls and the definitions that make numbers trusted.
What Aldous clarifies
- Which reports, models and controls the warehouse must support.
- Where source system data needs finance definitions, ownership or adjustment logic.
- Which spreadsheet dependencies are symptoms of missing data structure.
- What should be built in the data layer, the planning tool, the BI layer or the operating process.
Why CFOs ask before the build
Finance warehouse work can look technical while the real risk is operational: weak metric definitions, undocumented manual adjustments, unclear ownership and board outputs that no one has decomposed. Aldous maps those dependencies before a team locks scope into data engineering tickets.
The output is not a generic architecture deck. It is a finance logic map that shows the finance questions, data flows, controls and decision outputs the build must serve.
