Surface risk early
Identify financial, compliance, reporting, and operating weaknesses before an investor, auditor, or cash constraint exposes them.
Diagnostic / Startup HealthCheck
See the risks before they become the story.
Startup HealthCheck is a focused, founder-friendly diagnostic of financial health, operating readiness, and the gaps most likely to affect runway, credibility, or the next stage of growth.
Point of view
Not every gap deserves the same response.
Startups are supposed to be incomplete. The question is whether the missing structure is appropriate for the company’s stage—or quietly creating financial, compliance, governance, and execution risk. Startup HealthCheck separates normal early-stage imperfection from issues that can become expensive quickly.
The objective is not more control. It is a clear view of what matters now, what can wait, and who should own the next move.
What changes
Readiness that shows up in the decision.
The value is not the framework itself. It is the speed, confidence, and decision quality created when the underlying work is reliable.
Prioritize proportionately
Distinguish urgent threats from maturity improvements so scarce time and capital go to the highest-leverage work first.
Strengthen confidence
Give founders, boards, and investors a more credible view of the company’s readiness and the plan to improve it.
Inside Startup HealthCheck
A connected review of the finance foundation.
The review looks across the places where small gaps tend to compound. Each area is considered in the context of company stage, financing plans, existing people, and operating complexity.
Financial processes & reporting
Close quality, reporting reliability, ownership, and whether management information supports real decisions.
Cash flow & runway
Liquidity visibility, forecast assumptions, commitments, scenario readiness, and the timing of available actions.
Controls & documentation
Practical approvals, access, reconciliations, evidence, policies, and continuity without enterprise bureaucracy.
Board & investor readiness
Consistency of financial narratives, metrics, forecasts, records, and the ability to answer predictable questions.
Governance & compliance
Material obligations, decision rights, ownership records, and risks that should be visible before they become events.
Operating stress points
Back-office handoffs, systems, capacity constraints, and work that depends too heavily on one person or workaround.

The HealthCheck concludes with a written view of the current state and a practical sequence for improvement. Recommendations are calibrated to the startup’s stage and resources.
