View practiceStart from a CFO pain point
Board & Governance
Weak board reporting — pack is descriptive, not decision-grade
Treasury & Liquidity
Cash pressure / liquidity stress — runway < 3 months or facility headroom < 10%
Treasury control gaps — FX exposure, hedging or bank relationships unmanaged
FP&A & Planning
Forecasting unreliability — variances > 10% or rolling forecast missing
Tax & Compliance
Tax exposure / compliance gaps — NRS positions open, ETR walk weak, NTA 2025 unready
Controllership
Finance close delays — > 8 working days from period-end to signed pack
Transformation
Low automation maturity — finance is spreadsheet-dependent
AI readiness uncertainty — no defensible AI roadmap for the board
Economic Intelligence
Economic intelligence gaps — macro signals not driving pricing / capex / hedging
Performance Management
Performance management weakness — KPIs disconnected from strategy
Risk & Resilience
Risk and control weakness — appetite implicit, KRIs missing, BCP untested
Investor & Lender Readiness
Investor / lender readiness gaps — diligence pack and covenants weak
