Builds a ~10-slide PowerPoint board narrative (DepreciationQuarterlyReview.pptx) — expense trends, category breakdown, asset life buckets, budget variance, and MACRS tax impact — reconciling whatever depreciation schedule and prior-deck data is already in conversation, files, or memory each time it fires. Unlike depreciation schedule builders or MACRS tax workbooks, this never recomputes a GL-tied schedule or a tax-return-ready MACRS calculation — it takes numbers already produced elsewhere and turns them into the executive/board-facing slide story. Use when a finance team wants a standing quarterly board/leadership depreciation review without manually rebuilding slides every period. Suggested schedule: quarterly, first week after month-end close — adjust to your close calendar.
