Finance function diagnostic — FrontCFO Finance360

Finance360

An evidence-based view of how your finance function works, what it costs, and what it is worth to fix.

Most CFOs know something is wrong before they can say what. Finance360 establishes where the function actually stands, what it costs to run, where value is leaking, and what to do first — from evidence, not opinion.

Four to ten weeks, depending on entities and scope.

You may recognise this

Signs the function needs a clear view.

  • —Month-end numbers arrive late, and leaders question them when they do.
  • —Cash is tighter than profits suggest.
  • —Nobody can say with confidence which products or customers make money.
  • —The finance team is stretched, but it is not shaping decisions.
  • —The board, lenders or regulators are asking harder questions than Finance can answer.

What it answers

Question and deliverable, side by side.

How good is Finance today?

A maturity position for each business across four layers — Foundation, Insight, Control and Decision — against the expected state we set and agree with you at the outset.

What does Finance cost, and where does its time go?

The total cost of Finance and how the team's time is spent, by process.

Where is value leaking, and how much?

A Value Map across six levers that keeps profit, cash and capacity separate, with the source and confidence of every figure.

What should be done first?

A prioritised agenda with owners and measures, and reviews at six and twelve months.

How it works

Evidence from your organisation, on your terms.

Information your organisation already holds. Interviews with leaders and stakeholders. Structured interviews with the finance team about their own work. Analysis against your own terms, targets and best performance. Validation with the people who own each process. A report written for the CEO, CFO and board.

What makes it different

Built to be defensible.

Evidence, not opinion

Every finding traces to documents, data or corroborated interviews.

Value you can defend

Figures are conservative, sourced, and never added together across profit, cash and capacity.

Fair to your people

Results are reported by role and process, never by individual.

Independent

Recommendations follow the evidence, and any interest in a product or partner is disclosed.
