"A financial diagnostic? What's next? Are you going to ask to balance and rotate my tires?"

We get it. It might sound strange. We're talking about your organization's financial position. Its health and wellness. Its strengths and weaknesses. And, its opportunities and obstacles. So maybe the suggestion of a "diagnostic" might sound a bit, I don't know, misplaced?

But, hear me out - a financial diagnostic is actually a great way to develop a comprehensive understanding of an organization's financial health. Why? Well, it  provides insights into various other aspects of an organization's financial condition. And, when the diagnostic is complete, we'll have much clearer insights that will help shift, pivot, or bolster your organization, better guiding it to its optimal state. Facilitating longevity and an enhanced financial position.

How? What exactly do we mean? Well, the financial diagnostic helps pull back the curtain, allowing us to:
