Know exactly where your finance operations are exposed. In five days.
A 5-day engagement. Day 1 is a structured intake across all five finance domains. Days 2-4 run quantitative analysis on your vendor master and AP data - where the evidence lives. Day 5 delivers a vendor master health score with your top findings ranked by financial exposure - yours regardless of whether you proceed with a Sprint.
What we assess
Five domains. Every engagement covers all five.
We cover all five in every engagement. AP and vendor master get deep quantitative analysis in Days 2-4. The other four domains are assessed through the Day 1 intake and included in the roadmap.
AP and Vendor Master
Duplicate vendors, cancelled GSTINs, missing TDS categories, stale bank accounts. We run a systematic compliance check across your full vendor base - covering GSTIN status, MSME classification, payment terms compliance, bank account integrity, and duplicate detection.
Month-End Close
How long does your close take? Where does it slow down? We map the bottlenecks step by step and score the automation opportunity at each one.
Cash Flow Visibility
Daily cash position, rolling forecast accuracy, DSO and DIO tracking. We assess what your team does manually today that should not require a human.
Reporting and FP&A
Time to produce the monthly management report. Model version control. Whether department heads have self-serve access or everything flows through Finance.
Balance Sheet and AR
AR aging, collections process, DSO vs. sector benchmark. For manufacturing and distribution: inventory turns and excess-and-obsolete tracking.
What you receive
Five deliverables. Yours regardless of what comes next.
Finance Operations Findings Report
Vendor compliance findings across all five domains, ranked by financial exposure. Your team can act on this without engaging IQSS further.
Vendor Master Health Score (0-100)
A single number your Finance Controller can track quarter over quarter. Benchmarked against mid-market companies in your sector.
Top 3-5 findings with root cause and evidence
Not "your vendor master needs cleanup." Specific: vendor ID #4721 has a cancelled GSTIN, last paid INR 18L in October, same PAN as vendor #2103.
Sprint recommendation
Which Sprint addresses your highest exposure first. Pre-scoped, with an effort and cost estimate. The Sprint arc is previewed on Day 5 - not in a separate sales meeting.
CFO-ready Day 5 presentation
45 minutes with your CFO and Finance Controller. Findings, roadmap, and Sprint recommendation in a format you can take to your board.
The Diagnostic is the product. It prevents the 42% AI pilot failure rate by mapping the right problems before any automation begins. The Roadmap is yours to keep.
Before you book
Two questions worth answering.
How much did you pay vendors registered as MSME in the last 12 months - and how many of those invoices were settled beyond 45 days?
What is your total ITC claim in the last 6 months from vendors whose GSTIN filing you haven't verified?
If you don't know the answers, that's the finding. The Diagnostic tells you both numbers - with evidence - in 5 days.
Book the Diagnostic - From ₹75,000How it works
Three stages. Five days.
Intake
90-minute call with your CFO and Finance Controller. We map your finance operations across five domains, identify the highest-urgency area, and confirm what data is available for the analysis. Data export instructions go out the same day - Days 2-4 start immediately.
Analysis
You send a vendor master CSV and AP transactions export. We run the rules engine (Layer 1) across your full vendor base - GSTIN status, MSME classification, payment terms compliance, bank account integrity, and duplicate detection - then the AI intelligence layer (Layer 2) to produce risk narratives specific to your industry, ERP, and transaction patterns. No ERP access. No IT involvement. No installation.
Findings
Finance Operations Findings Report, Vendor Master Health Score, and top 3-5 findings with evidence. Sprint recommendation and a pre-scoped engagement are on the table if you want to proceed. The Sprint arc conversation begins here - not in a separate meeting later.
No ERP access required. No IT project. Data in via CSV - findings out in a CFO-ready presentation on Day 5.
Right time for a Diagnostic
Six situations where the Diagnostic pays for itself in week one.
New CFO appointment
Within 6 months of taking the seat. A clean picture of the finance function in 5 days - before the 90-day review.
Year-end audit prep
Auditor asking for MSME vendor classification or vendor master detail. The Diagnostic gives you the answers before they ask twice.
GST scrutiny notice or Rule 37A ITC reversal demand
A notice is the first signal that your vendor compliance data has gaps. The Diagnostic maps the full exposure - not just the vendors already flagged.
IPO or DRHP preparation
Vendor master is scrutinised in due diligence. Duplicate entries, lapsed GSTINs, and MSME misclassifications create disclosure risk.
Post-acquisition or merger
Two vendor masters need deduplication and a compliance audit before the finance teams integrate. The Diagnostic gives you the consolidated picture first.
ERP migration (S/4HANA or equivalent)
Clean vendor data before go-live prevents compliance gaps from migrating with the records. Post-migration monitoring catches what slips through anyway.
Pricing
Priced by GSTIN count.
From INR 75,000

FAQ
Common questions about the Diagnostic
What is the Finance Operations Diagnostic?
A 5-day structured assessment of your vendor master and AP data. Day 1 runs intake across your finance operations. Days 2-4 run quantitative checks - GSTIN validity, MSME 43B(h) exposure, duplicate vendor records, and AP spend patterns. Day 5 delivers a vendor master health score and findings report ranked by financial exposure.
What does it cost?
From INR 75,000. Priced by GSTIN count - we confirm the exact fee when you share your vendor master. Usually takes 5 minutes on the discovery call.
What do I get at the end?
A Finance Operations Findings Report with your top 3-5 findings ranked by financial exposure, a vendor master health score, and a Sprint recommendation if one is warranted. The report is yours regardless of whether you proceed with a Sprint.
Do I need to commit to a Sprint after the Diagnostic?
No. The Diagnostic is a self-contained engagement. The findings report and health score are yours to act on independently. If the Diagnostic identifies a high-exposure finding, we will scope a Sprint - but you decide whether to proceed.
