What is a CEO report?

A CEO report is a document that consolidates data from multiple sources (e.g., financial systems, CRM, HR platforms) to track and display key performance indicators (KPIs) (e.g., revenue growth, profit margins, employee performance), enabling executives to monitor overall business performance and make informed strategic decisions. 

CEO reports are typically created using flexible tools like Google Looker Studio, Power BI, Google Sheets, or platform-specific solutions to enable high customization and integration of multiple data sources.

What to include in a CEO report?

An actionable CEO report balances context and specificity based on the audience (executives, board members, and stakeholders) and their use cases.

Executive CEO reports

Executive reports for CEOs and board members show the company's bottom-line impact. Reviewed weekly, monthly, or quarterly, they include:

  • Financial performance analysis: revenue, profit margins, and cash flow analysis.
  • Operational efficiency analysis: cost management, productivity metrics, and resource allocation.
  • Strategic goal tracking: progress towards strategic initiatives and long-term objectives.
  • Add text for additional context to translate metrics for non-technical audiences. Present in slide decks and simplified Looker Studio reports.

Managerial CEO reports

Managerial reports have cross-departmental views with drill-downs to see performance by department, region, team member, and project. They help align teams, define strategies, and include:

  • Cross-departmental reporting: overall company, department, or region reporting across functions.
  • Goal tracking: compare current performance vs objectives.
  • Audits for prioritization and spotting issues 
  • Competitive analysis for market positioning and strategy mapping.
  • Employee performance and engagement metrics

Operational CEO reports

Operational reports for analysts and department managers have granular, customizable KPIs to solve technical issues. Monitored hourly, daily, or weekly, they cover:

  • Financial metrics: budget pacing, expense tracking, revenue forecasts.
  • HR metrics: employee turnover, satisfaction, and productivity.
  • Sales metrics: pipeline, conversion rates, and customer acquisition costs.
  • Operational metrics: process efficiency, quality control, and supply chain performance.

Operational CEO reports are highly customized, built in flexible tools like Google Sheets or Looker Studio to enable data cleaning, blending, annotations, and integrating multiple sources.
