FIQ™ Assessment · CFOLogic
Enter your details to access the 49-question assessment and get your instant FIQ™ score.
The gap you already feel
70% of SMBs hold less than four months of cash reserves (JPMorgan Chase Institute, 2023). Your bookkeeper reconciles. Nobody runs a 13-week cash forecast, stress-tests a bad quarter, or flags the runway before it gets short.
What another quarter costs you
By the time the P&L shows it, it's already a crisis.
SMBs without a dedicated finance partner take 21+ days to close their books (Ventana Research, 2023). You're deciding on hiring, pricing and inventory in April, using February's numbers.
What another quarter costs you
Another board meeting spent pulling up QuickBooks instead of walking in with a one-page answer.
The outsourced CFO's report looks polished. You can't tell if it's accurate. You approve the hiring plan, the price hike, the capex, and hope.
What another quarter costs you
Another hire approved on feel. Another price left on the table because competitors priced on data and you priced on the last conversation.
A Fortune 500 CFO has FP&A, FinOps and a strategy bench. You have a bookkeeper and a monthly call. The gap isn't because your decisions are smaller. It's because CFO-grade rigour has been priced out of reach for SMBs.
What another quarter costs you
Another due-diligence surprise the day a buyer, lender, or investor asks the real questions.

After your score
We've sat across from hundreds of founders at this inflection point. We know how it sounds when a founder tells us their bookkeeper is "great," then shows us a P&L with no department breakdown and a cash forecast that ends at the end of the month.
Your FIQ™ report sequences every fix across this week, this month, and this quarter. Immediate decisions first, structural moves last. The four service layers below each run on a different cadence; which ones you lean on depends on where your scores are weakest.
The Finance Pyramid™
Four layers. Each layer compounds the one below, and each runs on its own cadence.
CFO Strategy
Decision support, finance strategy, M&A, value creation.
Financial Intelligence
Budgets, forecasts, benchmarking, KPI tracking, dashboards.
Controller
Month-close, GAAP reporting.
FinOps
Accounting, payroll, AR, AP.
US-based leadership. India-based delivery, trained to US standards, on US schedules. Round-the-clock capacity without a full-time CFO salary.
The after
On a 0–10 scale, backed by your actual answers, not our opinion. You'll know:
Whether your cash visibility would survive a bad quarter.
Whether your forecasts are forecasts, or just optimistic plans.
Whether your books close fast enough to actually decide on.
Whether an investor would see a finance function that's ready, or a red flag.
Where you sit against peers in your revenue band.
Which single fix would move your FIQ™ the most this quarter.
No more "I think so." Actual scores. Actual gaps. Actual sequence.
