How ALFRD Checks works

01

Upload client exports.

CSV and XLSX files from QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage: P&L, balance sheet, GL, and bank statements. No API integration, no credentials, no onboarding.

02

Run 10 automated checks.

ALFRD analyses cash integrity, revenue patterns, margin trends, cost structures, working capital, balance sheet accuracy, owner behaviour, and industry benchmarks. Each finding is severity-rated.

03

Get a findings report.

Every issue includes the check that flagged it, the months affected, and the specific values behind it. Use the report to qualify cleanup work, strengthen proposals, or start advising immediately.

What a single upload can reveal

Cash that doesn't reconcile

Compares balance sheet cash to bank balances monthly. Calculates what cash movement should have been, and measures the unexplained gap.

Revenue that doesn't add up

Spots spikes followed by sharp reversals, months carrying too much of annual revenue, and sustained decline that hides in a flat P&L.

Margins under pressure

Tracks gross margin compression, single-month swings, and operating costs growing faster than revenue, month by month.

Costs in the wrong place

Flags COGS-to-expense imbalances, vague accounts absorbing 20%+ of spend, and new expense lines appearing mid-period.

Owners taking more than the business earns

Surfaces director drawings, round-number withdrawal patterns, and draws that exceed what the business is making.

A balance sheet that doesn't balance

Checks the accounting identity every month. Verifies net income flows into equity correctly. Catches retained earnings moving when they shouldn't.

Working capital shifting

Measures AR and AP days against rolling averages. Flags spikes above trend and multi-month deterioration in collection times.

Use the findings before the engagement starts

Qualify prospects faster

Run the checks during the sales conversation. By the time your prospect finishes explaining their setup, you'll know whether this is a cleanup engagement or a healthy book.

Make your proposal undeniable

Attach the findings report to your advisory or cleanup proposal. “Here's what we found in your data” is more convincing than any pitch deck.

Start advising on day one

Most new engagements start with weeks of data review. With the findings report in hand, you walk in already knowing what's wrong.
