The AI Finance Diagnostic

A 30-day assessment that shows you exactly where AI and automation will cut time and cost in your finance function — and hands you a prioritised roadmap to get there.

The AI Finance Diagnostic is a 30-day engagement that maps your finance function, identifies where AI and automation will create the most value, and delivers a prioritised roadmap. It is the low-risk entry point to CFO Ventures' SuperCFO model — you see the value before committing to a full engagement.

What is the AI Finance Diagnostic?

It is a structured, 30-day review of how your finance function actually runs today — the close, reporting, reconciliations, forecasting and the systems behind them. We benchmark where time and money are being lost to manual work, then show you precisely where AI and automation pay off and in what order. You finish with a clear plan, whether or not you continue with us.

What do you assess?

What do I get at the end?

A written diagnostic

A clear picture of how your finance function performs today, with the manual work and time costs quantified.

A prioritised roadmap

Quick wins separated from bigger projects, sequenced by value and effort — so you know what to do first.

Estimated savings

The time and cost each automation is expected to free up, so the business case is explicit.

A clear next step

Exactly what a full engagement would implement — or a plan you can take and run yourself.

How long does it take, and what does it cost?

The diagnostic runs over 30 days and begins with a two-week, zero-risk trial — if you are not satisfied, you walk away and owe nothing. Pricing is scoped to the size and complexity of your finance function and discussed on the call, so you only pay for what your situation actually requires. There are no setup or onboarding fees.

Can I take just the diagnostic and stop there?

A short kickoff call, a key finance contact, and read access to your accounting system and recent reports. We handle the analysis from there with minimal demand on your team's time.
