Key findings

What will we find?

Every finding names what was observed, why it matters and what to do. The four below are illustrative examples of the kind of finding the diagnostic produces.

High priority

Accounts receivable grew faster than revenue.

Why it matters

Collection is slowing relative to sales. The gap is financed by the company, and it never shows up in the income statement.

Recommended action

Review credit terms by customer segment and separate genuine disputes from routine late payment.

High priority

Customer concentration is a material commercial risk.

Why it matters

The top five customers account for a share of revenue at which losing one materially changes the year.

Recommended action

Quantify the exposure per customer and set a concentration target for the next four quarters.

Medium priority

Inventory turnover is below target.

Why it matters

A share of working capital is held in items that do not move at the rate the rest of the catalogue does.

Recommended action

Identify slow-moving items by value and decide, per item, whether to discount, return or stop reordering.

Medium priority

Gross margin fell in a key product category.

Why it matters

The decline is driven by input cost, not by price. It has been absorbed rather than passed through.

Recommended action

Compare purchase price movement against list price by category and decide where to reprice.

What is needed from you

The first item is the minimum. The rest deepen the analysis but are not required to start.

  • CFDI for the last 24 months — issued and received, including payment complements Required
  • Trial balance or general ledger Optional
  • Inventory report, if the business holds stock Optional
  • Sales detail by customer and product, if kept outside invoicing Optional

If something is missing, the affected metric is reported as unavailable with the reason. It is not estimated.

Start with the diagnostic.

What comes after — the monthly plan or Monitoring — is decided with evidence, not with a proposal.
