Introducing the Financial Clarity Assessment Framework™ by FinDep Consult

Milan, October 2025 – FinDep Consult has launched the Financial Clarity Assessment Framework™, a new diagnostic model designed to help Finance leaders evaluate how effectively their Finance function supports business strategy and long-term value creation.

In today’s environment of rapid growth, transformation, and post-acquisition integration, many organisations struggle to connect financial data with strategic decisions. The Financial Clarity Assessment Framework™ provides a structured, evidence-based method to diagnose maturity, identify inefficiencies, and develop a roadmap toward a more agile, data-driven Finance organisation.

A practical framework for Finance transformation

Developed by Anastasia Aleksenko, Founder and Managing Partner of FinDep Consult, the framework draws on over 25 years of international experience in FP&A, post-M&A integration, and Finance transformation.
It enables companies to assess four key dimensions of clarity and performance:

Finance Structure & Processes – organisation, control, roles, and accountability.

Data & Systems – integration between ERP, BI, and operational data sources, ensuring accuracy and automation.

Performance & Forecasting – budgeting, variance analysis, and KPI design.

Governance & Decision-Making – collaboration between Finance, Management, and Operations.

The result is a complete picture of where Finance creates value and where potential risks, misalignments, or inefficiencies may exist.

Deliverables and outcomes

Each assessment delivers a detailed diagnostic report highlighting:

The organisation’s Finance maturity level

Key risks and improvement areas

Quick wins and mid-term priorities

A clear, actionable roadmap for Finance excellence

The Financial Clarity Assessment Framework™ helps business owners, CFOs, and investors gain transparency over financial processes, strengthen control, and support faster, data-driven decision-making.
