Back homeClient Advisory Readiness Assessment

A sample of what your clients see — and what your firm gets back.

The assessment is sent under your firm's brand. Clients answer a short set of guided questions. The system generates an Advisory Readiness Score, a Visibility Gap Report, and a recommended advisory package — then flows the responses straight into onboarding.

How it works

The assessment turns advisory into a conversation clients understand.

  1. Step 01

    Firm Sends Branded Link

    The client receives a clean, professional assessment from the CPA firm.

  2. Step 02

    Client Answers Guided Questions

    Questions uncover reporting gaps, cash flow uncertainty, decision-making pain, KPI confusion, and operational blind spots.

  3. Step 03

    System Generates Advisory Readiness Score

    The client sees where they have strong visibility — and where they're flying blind.

  4. Step 04

    Firm Reviews Results With Client

    The firm now has a natural advisory conversation based on the client's own answers.

  5. Step 05

    Client Moves Into Advisory Onboarding

    Assessment responses become the starting point for onboarding, KPI setup, and monthly advisory delivery.
