How it works

Three numbers turn a hunch into a business case.

Answer a short set of questions about how you run finance today. From your answers the model produces three things — a matrix, a score, and a number in pounds.

1

The Maturity Matrix

Rate each finance area — planning, close, consolidation, reporting, and now AI and ESG — from Manual (1) to AI-embedded (5). It’s the clearest picture of how you run today.

2

Your Finance Value Score

The matrix rolls up into a single 0–100 score — one honest number for how mature your finance function is, and the one you can share with the board or your peers.

3

The business case

The gap between where you are and level 5 is costed — a bottom-up figure for the value at stake, so “we should modernise finance” becomes a number worth acting on.

What it measures

The whole office of the CFO — core processes, plus the frontier.

The score spans the processes that run finance, with AI and ESG treated as the two pillars that increasingly decide who is ahead.

Planning & budgetingHow plans are built, versioned and agreed.
Group month-end closeSpeed, control and effort to close the books.
ConsolidationBringing entities together, cleanly and fast.
ForecastingHow often, how accurate, how much effort.
Statutory reportingYear-end and filings, from assembly to sign-off.
AI in financeWhere intelligent automation is embedded — the level-5 frontier.
ESG reportingThe finance-owned cut of ESG — consolidation meets CSRD.
