don't present your bank with a fait accompli

You haven't given the context, but I imagine it's something like this, which may even be the text you're translating:

Quelles que soient les circonstances, en tant que nouveau chef d'entreprise, ne mettez jamais votre banquier devant le fait accompli. Anticipez, prévenez-le à l'avance de l'évolution prévue de votre entreprise.
