Fracfai provides a behind-the-scenes integrity review of your client’s P&L, Balance Sheet, and, where needed, GL segments. We expose structural issues that distort the numbers so you can scope cleanup, price the work, and step into advisory engagements with more confidence.
This is not bookkeeping, not cleanup, and not a competing service. Diagnostics are a neutral, technical layer designed specifically to support CPA and FCFO firms.
We are not judging your client’s business. We are examining how the financial statements are built and whether the structure behaves as it should.
Findings are documented in a light forensic style, aligned with how CPA firms think about evidence, risk, and workpapers.
Diagnostics are a standalone service. They can precede forecasting, but many firms use them purely to reduce risk and bring order to difficult client files.
You inherit years of partial work, inconsistent chart-of-accounts logic, and unexplained equity movements — then have to form a defensible opinion on where to start and how much effort it will take.
Manual review of statements and GL is slow and easy to underprice. Diagnostics compress the discovery phase by surfacing where structure is broken.
When you sign off on work built on weak structure, your firm inherits that risk. Diagnostics give you firmer ground for deciding what must be fixed before you move on.
The diagnostic is a technical integrity review of how the financial statements are constructed — not a review of tax position, and not an assessment of business performance.
We analyze the structure of P&L, Balance Sheet, and selected GL segments to see whether accounts behave consistently, logically, and coherently over time.
We highlight the specific areas that drive complexity: broken equity, sign reversals, distorted cost groupings, conflicting classifications, and ranges of periods likely to need the most work.
We do not offer bookkeeping, cleanup, monthly accounting, or tax services. Our role is to strengthen your workflow, not to compete with it.
Data is preprocessed and, where appropriate, anonymized. Python pipelines and AI-assisted pattern detection flag structural inconsistencies and anomalies for human interpretation.
Output is structured like a light forensic memo: clearly identified issues, supporting examples, and a path back to the relevant accounts or transactions.
Diagnostics are often the natural first step before cash flow forecasting. But many firms use this service purely to scope cleanup and reduce ongoing structural risk.
Everything about the diagnostic — scope, tone, output format — is designed for firms that already care about documentation, ethics, and client trust.
Use the diagnostic to size the work. Get a structured view of where the books are broken, how far back issues extend, and which areas will consume the most time.
Surface high-risk patterns before you sign off: negative revenue, inconsistent cost capitalization, unexplained equity swings, and other structural problems.
Turn “your books are a mess” into a professional, evidence-based narrative: what’s broken, why it matters, and how fixing it supports financing, forecasting, and better decisions.
Run diagnostics before offering higher-value services. You’ll know whether the underlying structure is ready for forecasting, budgeting, or KPI work, or whether integrity has to come first.
You decide how cleanup happens. You can keep it in-house, work with a bookkeeping partner, or guide client-side efforts. Fracfai does not perform cleanup.
As you use diagnostics across clients, patterns emerge: where structural risk is highest, what tends to break, and where additional attention is warranted before busy seasons.
The process is structured to respect your time, your clients, and your existing workflows. The goal is clarity, not disruption.
We discuss the client profile, accounting platform, relevant time horizon, and your objectives. We confirm scope (P&L and Balance Sheet by default; GL segments where useful) and agree on a fixed diagnostic fee.
You provide exports from your accounting system or secure access through an agreed-upon method. Data is preprocessed and anonymized where appropriate; focus remains on structural patterns rather than client identity.
We run programmatic checks on the financial structure: consistency tests, mapping reviews, sign-logic checks, period-to-period reconciliations, and anomaly detection across key accounts and groupings.
You receive a written diagnostic report with findings, supporting exhibits, and a summary you can adapt directly for internal files or client communication. A short review call is included to clarify any questions.
Where relevant, we add a brief section on forecasting readiness — highlighting what would need to be stabilized before cash flow forecasting or scenario analysis would be reliable.
Cleanup, remediation, and ongoing accounting remain entirely in your control. The diagnostic is an input into your firm’s workflow, not a competitor for downstream services.
All workflows are subject to refinement as we learn from additional firm use cases. The diagnostic does not constitute audit, review, compilation, tax, legal, or investment advice.
Many “cleanup” and “advisory” tools blur the line between technology vendor and service provider. That can cut against how CPA firms are positioned. Fracfai’s diagnostics are intentionally different.
Our role is to act as a technical, third-party integrity check that fits inside your existing engagement model. You remain the client’s primary advisor; Fracfai operates as an intelligence layer behind the scenes.
Every engagement is unique, but the structure of the output is consistent: an executive summary, categorized findings, supporting exhibits, and a concise “what this means” section you can bring directly into your files or client conversations.
Examples above are illustrative only. Actual reports are tailored to the structure, complexity, and objectives of each engagement and avoid exposing any proprietary firm-specific logic.
If you’d like to explore financial structure diagnostics for a specific client, or see an anonymized sample of the output format, feel free to reach out directly. The initial conversation is simply to understand fit, context, and where a structural review would help your firm the most.
Diagnostics can be used standalone or as a precursor to Fracfai’s cash flow forecasting service, depending on your firm’s goals and the state of each client’s books.
Financial Structure Diagnostics are designed as a scoping and integrity tool. They support, but do not replace, your professional judgment, and they are not a substitute for audit, review, compilation, tax, legal, or investment advice.
Findings are best used alongside your own workpapers, client knowledge, and any additional procedures you determine are appropriate.
