Uncover Hidden Financial Issues to Build the Right Strategy

As an executive leader, you can likely point to specific friction points within your finance function. However, you may not be aware of every underlying issue impacting performance, or how to effectively resolve the challenges you do see.

The Financial Health Assessment is the first step for every client, whether you’re engaging FP&A Consulting or Fractional CFO Services. Unlike firms that rush into hands-on execution without a clear roadmap, Momentum CFO aligns with you on your goals and the right strategy to achieve them. The assessment creates clarity and leadership buy-in before any ongoing work begins.

The Process

Discover, Diagnose, Deliver

Over four to six weeks, we evaluate your financial capabilities and build a strategic plan for sustainable business performance.


01


Discover

We begin with a kickoff meeting and targeted stakeholder interviews to align on timelines, uncover your unique goals, and shape the exact scope of your diagnostic assessment.

02


Diagnose

We rigorously evaluate your finance function across the six critical categories detailed below to pinpoint specific vulnerabilities and uncover strategic growth opportunities.

03


Deliver

The process concludes with three deliverables: a written assessment, a financial dashboard, and a strategic roadmap.

The Approach

Six Areas We Assess

Look beyond your monthly financials with an in-depth Financial Health Assessment that uncovers underlying risks and opportunities throughout your organization.

People, Processes & Technology

Support future business needs by analyzing your finance team’s structure, capabilities, and data management systems, including accounting platforms and ERPs.

Financial Planning

Assess how well your annual budget and longer-term plans translate strategic priorities into financial targets.

Forecasting

Evaluate how accurately you project cash and profitability, and whether forecasts reflect actual business drivers rather than extrapolations of history.

Performance Management

Examine the reporting, KPIs, and variance analysis that measure performance against plan, and whether they drive action or just document results.

Financial Analysis

Determine how well your analytical capabilities, including profitability and pricing analysis, support major decisions before they are made.

Risk Management

Protect your business by inspecting exposure to financial risks, including fraud vulnerabilities, insurance gaps, and key personnel dependencies.

The Deliverables & Next Steps

With these findings, you’ll know exactly where your finance function and financial performance stand, with a clear plan for what to do next. More importantly, you’ll have the confidence to make financial decisions without second-guessing yourself.
