There is no fixed client journey.
Every engagement begins with the business challenge. Commercial Catalyst recommends the level and depth of support that fits the organisation, its priorities, the decisions being made and the financial information available. A client may need one focused piece of work, move through several stages, or require ongoing Strategic Finance Partnering. The right starting point depends on the business – not the service ladder.
What we may need to understand
Depending on the engagement, we may review recent financial reports, management accounts, cash flow info and customer data.
You do not need perfect financial information to start. Part of the work is understanding what is available.
