Self-Assessment — Tier 2 — Growth

Growth-stage organizations, roughly $2M–$10M, with a dedicated bookkeeper or controller and board or investor reporting starting. 56 items across eight domains. Rate each practice 1–4 (or N/A) for how well it’s established today — honest ratings make the findings useful. Scores compute as you go.

We review your ratings and comments, confirm the picture in a short working session, and turn the lowest-scoring domains into a prioritized Findings & Recommendations report — specific gaps, the risk each carries, and a sequenced plan to close them.

Confidentiality: your responses describe your control environment and are treated as confidential. They are transmitted securely, never included in notification emails, and reviewed only by the Small Business Auxilium team.

This self-assessment is a diagnostic tool, not an audit or an assurance engagement. It is intended to surface where attention is warranted and to focus the work that follows.
