I can't say I have first hand experience, but I've been dating a public accountant for several years and (based on her complaining) can confirm it's not as simple as sending over the info to the accountant and get a quarterly report. That's especially true with a company like this with many moving parts and new acquisitions. The process typically involves back and forth for a month or more while the accountant figures out what additional information they need and the company works to provide said info.

I'm not making excuses for the CEO here, the process likely could have been started earlier, but I just wanted to point out that it's likely out of his hands. His delivery projections are also likely second hand from the accountant who's guesstimating. I work in a similar industry and initial timeframes are often pushed back if any back and forth is required.
