Introducing CFO 8 Matrix Task Templates in SuitUp for Efficient Management

Enhancing Task Management with CFO 8 Matrix in SuitUp

Suit Inc., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently enriched its task management and project management tool, SuitUp, by integrating the task templates based on the CFO 8 Matrix framework developed by the Partner CFO Association (P-CFO). This significant addition aims to streamline the tasks of CFOs, particularly in areas such as management support, PLCF enhancement, and fundraising, offering a more efficient workflow for businesses.

Overview of the CFO 8 Matrix Task Templates

The introduction of CFO 8 Matrix task templates reflects our commitment to assisting small and mid-sized enterprises and startups, which may not have dedicated CFO staff. The P-CFO association emphasizes the need for partner CFOs, acknowledging the importance of accessible tools for businesses lacking extensive management experience.

The CFO 8 Matrix includes a total of 64 task templates, divided into eight crucial domains:
1. Management Control
2. PLCF Improvement
3. Organizational Management
4. Fundraising
5. Recruitment
6. New Business Development
7. Exit Strategies (such as IPOs or M&As)
8. Business Restructuring and Succession
Each domain encompasses eight specific tasks tailored to address the various challenges faced by management in these areas.

This enhancement aligns with our core principle at SuitUp: to create a platform that promotes easy, daily management of team tasks. By including templates developed from expert knowledge, our users—regardless of their management experience—can set tasks with ease. Since launching the alpha version in September 2023, we have built a robust foundation that supports communication, task organization, and analysis. As of May 2025, our collection of task templates will have surpassed 9,000 entries, highlighting our dedication to continuous improvement.
