Financial Health Assessment · $97
The scores.
Now the story.
The Financial Health Assessment is the full read on what your scorecard actually means — stage- and industry-aware benchmarks, written interpretation, prioritized recommendations, and a 30-minute working call to walk through what it means.
Delivered within one business day. The 30-minute call is yours to book whenever you want it.
What the scorecard didn't tell you
The scores are the headline.
The assessment is the story.
The free scorecard gave you a color across four dimensions. Useful — but it's the cover, not the book.
You learned your Cash Health is “Stable.” You didn't learn whether your real runway is shorter than the headline number because a working-capital issue your bookkeeper didn't flag is draining cash faster than your burn rate implies. You learned your Profitability is “Caution.” You didn't learn whether the problem is gross margin compression, overhead drift, or pricing leakage — and the answer to which changes everything about what you do next. You learned your Operational Efficiency needs work. You didn't learn which metric to fix first.
The assessment is where the headlines turn into specifics. The difference between “your numbers say you have a problem” and “your numbers say you have a problem, here's exactly what's causing it, and here are the three things to do about it in the next 90 days.”
What's Included
Here's what's in the assessment.
Full Financial Health Matrix Scoring
All four dimensions — Cash Health, Profitability, Operational Efficiency, and Growth & Scalability — scored against stage- and industry-aware thresholds. Not generic benchmarks. The numbers a $5M SaaS company should hit are different from a $5M CPG brand. The assessment is calibrated to which one you actually are.
Standalone
$500
Written Interpretation
A plain-English read on what every score means for your business — written to be picked up and acted on, not decoded.
Standalone
$200
Prioritized Recommendations
Your priorities, ranked by impact and organized by your weakest Health Matrix dimensions. The same prioritization framework we use with paying advisory clients.
Standalone
$200
Stage-Aware Thresholds
Every metric measured against the research-derived thresholds a company at your stage and in your industry should actually hit — not a generic average. It includes the metrics founders most often read wrong — a working-capital line that makes runway look longer than it actually is, or a margin that looks healthier on paper than it does in cash.
Standalone
$150
30-Minute Working Call
Thirty focused minutes on your specific assessment — we walk through the scores, dig into the most consequential findings, and answer the questions you couldn’t fully resolve on your own.

Your Investment
$97
Less than a single hour of advisory time at standard rates. The 30-minute call alone is worth $375 — and that's before the assessment, the benchmarking, or the recommendations.

Why $97
The price is a filter.
Most “free consultations” with fractional CFOs are 30 minutes of soft qualifying so the firm can decide whether to pitch you a $5,000-a-month retainer. You leave the call without anything you didn't have when you got on it.
The assessment is the opposite of that. You pay $97. You get a full diagnostic, a written read, a prioritized plan, and a working call where the goal is making you smarter — not selling you something. Whether you ever work with us again is genuinely a separate conversation.
The $97 isn't pricing. It's a filter. It tells you we're not going to spend the 30 minutes pitching a retainer. It tells us you're serious about understanding your numbers.
Quick Fit Check
This is built for one specific buyer.
This is for you if:
- You took the free scorecard and want the full read on what those scores actually mean
- You’re running a company typically doing $1M–$25M without a CFO and "own" finance by default
- You’re a finance lead who wants a second set of eyes on what the data is showing
- You’d rather understand your numbers than guess at them
- You can decide on $97 without a discovery call
This isn't for you if:
- Your books are months out of date — finish the bookkeeping first; we work on top of clean books
- You’re pre-revenue, pre-product, or under $1M with no clear near-term path to meaningful revenue
- You’re shopping for a free consultation in disguise — that’s not what this is
The Guarantee
Here's the deal.
If the assessment doesn't show you at least one thing you didn't already know about your business, email us. We'll refund the $97. No form to fill out, no follow-up call to defend the work. The diagnostic either earns its keep or it doesn't.
In practice, this almost never gets invoked — the assessment usually surfaces something the founder's bookkeeper or controller hasn't flagged because it's not their job to flag it. But the offer stands.
