• BLIND SPOT ASSESSMENT

    Answer 15 quick questions and see where your organization is strong, and where hidden risks may be waiting. Takes about 5 minutes.

  • Cash Flow & Forecasting

  • 1. We know roughly how much cash we'll have on hand 90 days from now.*
  • 2. We review a cash flow forecast at least once a month.*
  • 3. We could cover 3 months of payroll and expenses if income stopped tomorrow.*

  • Budgeting & Reporting

  • 1. We built this year's budget from real numbers, not last year's copied forward.*
  • 2. We compare actual results to budget at least monthly, and know why the gaps exist.*
  • 3. Our financial reports would make sense to someone outside our finance team.*

  • Controls & Audit Readiness

  • 1. More than one person is involved in approving and recording expenses (no single point of failure).*
  • 2. We could produce clean financial statements for an audit, grant review, or loan application within a week.*
  • 3. We have written policies for key financial processes, such as expense approval and reimbursements.*

  • Systems & Data Quality

  • 1. Our books are reconciled (bank, credit card, and balance sheet) every month, not just at year-end.*
  • 2. We trust the numbers in our accounting system without needing to double-check them elsewhere.*
  • 3. Our chart of accounts and reporting are set up to answer the questions we actually ask.*

  • Board / Investor / Lender Communication

  • 1. We could walk our board, investors or lenders through our numbers with confidence, not just hand over a spreadsheet.*
  • 2. Our board members, donors, or investors get financial updates on a regular schedule, not only when they ask.*
  • 3. We have a clear story for how our numbers connect to our mission and impact / growth and profitability.*
