Prioritized Financial Plan.

Turn what you found into a short, ordered plan that names your first guide, the guides that follow, any urgent routes, and the date you start. A plan a leader actually finishes beats a heroic one abandoned in two weeks.

At the end of the Financial Health Diagnostic, once you know your finding and have tested it for timing and for restrictions.

Your named finding

Primary problem (visibility, budget, cash flow, restricted funds, or resilience)

Any secondary

Timing squeeze or structural deficit

True available cash, and any spent-restriction flag

Your ordered guides

List the guides your finding names, in the required order: see first, then restricted funds or budget, then cash flow, then resilience. If a spent restriction surfaced, restricted funds goes first regardless.

Urgent routes to add now

Acute cash, cannot make payroll this month: go to the steadiness check first, collect what is owed, and arrange a bridge if needed.

Structural deficit: add the funding work and mission clarity and strategic direction, and mergers, partnerships and restructuring if the work may not be able to continue here.

A restriction may be spent, or a filing or tax problem surfaced: add a nonprofit accountant, and an attorney if there is legal exposure, this week.

Board will not engage the numbers: add board governance and development.

Your first move

The very first guide you will open

The date you start it

The first thing you will do in it

Do the first guide before you open the second. A short plan you finish beats a long one you abandon. Built from the Financial Health Diagnostic finding and the Deficit-or-Timing Reality Check.
