The Finance Value Score
Score your finance function across planning, close, consolidation, reporting and ESG on a 1–5 maturity scale — where level 5 is AI-embedded. Get your Finance Value Score, and the business case to close the gap.
Free, no login, two minutes.
How it works
Answer a short set of questions about how you run finance today. From your answers the model produces three things - a matrix, a score, and a number in pounds.
Rate each finance area — planning, close, consolidation, reporting, forecasting, statutory and now ESG — from Manual (1) to AI-embedded (5). AI isn’t a separate box to tick: it’s what level 5 looks like in every one of them.
The matrix rolls up into a single 0–100 score — one honest number for how mature your finance function is, and the one you can share with the board or your peers.
The gap is costed bottom-up, task by task — not the whole distance to level 5, but the part the technology can actually close. So “we should modernise finance” becomes a number that survives scrutiny.
What the numbers mean
What it measures
The score spans the processes that run finance, with AI and ESG treated as the two pillars that increasingly decide who is ahead.
Read the thinking behind three of them: AI in finance, ESG reporting for finance and financial consolidation.

Who’s behind it
The Finance Value Score is built and backed by AIS Consulting — finance-transformation specialists and an official CCH Tagetik implementation partner. The model and the benchmarks come from two decades in the office of the CFO, across the platforms that actually run group finance — not a marketing team.
