How to turn GPT-5 into your 24/7 CFO partner
CFOs can turn board meeting preparation into a 5-minute workflow with GPT-5
Imagine it’s 8:59 a.m.
You walk into the boardroom. The deck is ready, the coffee is still hot, and the directors are already flipping pages.
Normally, your stomach would tighten.
Because board meetings aren’t about slides.
They’re about questions:
The ones you didn’t anticipate.
The ones that expose blind spots.
The ones that turn confidence into hesitation.
But you’ve already seen those questions.
You’ve already rehearsed your answers. You know where every number lives, every risk is flagged, and every counterpoint is pre-baked.
Not because you worked all night.
But because GPT-5 did the prep for you.
Yes, it’s possible.
Stop spending 5–10 hours rereading transcripts, financials, and emails. Drafting and redrafting slides. Guessing what the board will ask. Calling your team late at night for that one missing metric.
In today’s edition, I’ll show you how you can use GPT-5 to prepare for your next Board Meeting with a high level of personalization. I’ll share what files you must upload and 2 powerful prompts.
This is what CFOs and FP&A leaders can do today.
