The UK’s Only CFO-Focused Assurance Firm
Leading a £10m+ programme means your credibility is on the line with every decision.
Ahqenza brings clarity, control and assurance to high-stakes finance transformation. No vendor bias or off-the-shelf frameworks. Just strategic insight and results trusted at board level.
Finance Faces a Crisis of Confidence.
We Restore Control.
Finance leaders face mounting pressure to transform, stay compliant and deliver strategic value simultaneously. Without proper assurance, even well-planned programmes lose direction.
Ahqenza steps in when clarity fades and momentum stalls. We restore structure, insight and control to high-stakes finance initiatives.
The Problems
- Value disappears. Business cases fade. Finance transformations often under-deliver. The promised benefits are lost after go-live.
- Momentum stalls. Seventy percent of CFOs say their programmes are delayed, underwhelming or off course.
- Governance fails. Vendor-driven decisions, poor change control and weak oversight derail progress.
- Leaders burn out. Fatigue, data issues and fractured trust leave CFOs exposed and isolated.
- Assurance lacks impact. Often treated as a tick-box exercise, not the strategic lever it needs to be.
The Solutions
- Assurance designed for CFOs. Independent, finance-only and vendor-neutral. Focused on outcomes, not templates.
- Risks surfaced early. Board-grade audits restore clarity, control and confidence before value is lost.
- Turnaround that delivers. Recovery support brings struggling programmes back on track with speed and precision.
- Leadership uplifted. Executive training strengthens confidence, cohesion and decision-making across the finance team.
- Led by a peer. All services are delivered by a Chartered Accountant and trusted advisor to CFOs.
