Revenue Systems Audit
For founders who want their business to grow & function without them
A founder-level diagnostic of how money, work, and decisions move through your business. We map where revenue is created, where momentum stalls, and what needs to change so growth does not depend on you being everywhere at once.
90 minutes • Limited monthly slots
Most founders don’t stall because they lack effort.
They stall because their system can’t carry the business they’re trying to build.
Growth creates pressure.
Pressure exposes weak handoffs, unclear ownership, leaky funnels, and founder dependency.
This audit is designed to surface those fault lines early while you still have the leverage to fix them calmly, rather than reactively.
What is a systems audit?
A Revenue Systems Audit is a structured, end-to-end look at how your business actually runs commercially and operationally.
We examine how customers move from first touch to long-term retention, and how your internal systems, tools, and team either support that flow or quietly slow it down.
This is not a surface-level review of processes. It is a founder-facing diagnostic designed to show you where leverage lives and what needs to exist for your business to grow without adding unnecessary complexity or headcount.
THE AUDIT Viewed Through 2 Lenses
When I first designed this audit, I considered offering it as either a revenue audit or an operations audit. In practice, that split never worked.
Revenue ideas fail when operations can’t support them. Operational improvements stall when they don’t unlock growth.
You can have great ideas for increasing revenue, but if the business still relies on the founder to make every decision, handle every edge case, or push things forward manually, nothing really changes. You can also streamline operations endlessly, but if those systems don’t directly support how revenue is generated, they don’t move the business forward.
This audit examines both, as sustainable growth occurs only when commercial strategy and operational reality are aligned.
The goal isn’t just efficiency. It’s making sure your effort actually carries forward.
1) Commercial Lens
revenue systems & growth mechanics
The commercial lens examines how revenue is currently generated—and whether it’s repeatable without increasing founder effort.
This includes:
How leads are generated, qualified, and converted
Where revenue depends on bespoke work or constant decision-making
Whether results compound over time or reset each month
How pricing, packaging, and offers support sustainable growth
The focus here isn’t on more ideas; it’s on identifying where revenue systems are fragile, overly manual, or too dependent on founder involvement to scale calmly.
Outcome: Clear visibility into what’s actually driving revenue and what’s preventing it from becoming repeatable.
2) Operating Lens
how the business actually runs
The operational lens looks at how work flows through the business—and where execution, context, or decision-making still relies too heavily on the founder.
This includes:
How decisions are made and communicated
Where processes exist (or don’t)
How information is documented, shared, and reused
Where urgency or firefighting replaces structure
Rather than focusing on tools, this lens highlights where operational gaps force the founder to stay closely involved just to keep things moving.
Outcome: A clear picture of where the business depends on you and what would need to change for it to function more independently.

This audit works best if You:
Are working hard, but progress isn’t compounding
Feel growth creating pressure your systems can’t support
Want clarity before adding hires, tools, or effort
Care about building something you can sustain long-term
Are ready to move from reacting to designing.
This audit is not the right fit if You:
Want someone to immediately implement systems for you
Are looking for quick wins without revisiting fundamentals
Believe chaos is an unavoidable part of growth
Aren’t ready to examine root causes calmly
The Revenue Systems Audit
This assessment is guided by my Founder Optionality System™ a framework for understanding how dependent your business is on you across growth, operations, and decision-making.
You will walk away with a practical systems map of how your business actually functions today, identified leverage points across both revenue and execution, and a prioritised 30–60–90 day plan based on your chosen lens.
The recommendations are designed to work whether you implement with your internal team, a Chief of Staff, or a specialist partner.

What we examine:
We examine the business as a connected system rather than a set of isolated functions. The same core areas are always reviewed, with emphasis shifting depending on whether you are viewing the audit through the Commercial or Operating lens.
-
We identify where authority actually lives in your business, where it is assumed, and where it quietly defaults back to you.
-
We examine how deals, delivery, and follow-ups move when you are not actively driving them, and where momentum slows or leaks.
-
We assess where truth lives, how work transfers between roles, and where context is lost between functions or tools.
-
We review how pricing, scope, timelines, and approvals are set, enforced, and overridden.
-
We measure how quickly a non-founder could operate the system without shadowing or constant intervention.

FAQs
These are common questions founders ask before requesting an audit.
-
This is a professional Revenue Systems Audit that examines how revenue flows through your business — including sales processes, handoffs, governance, and decision structure — using your actual systems and operating materials, not interviews alone.
-
It is both. The audit looks at how revenue is generated and how your internal systems support or constrain that flow. Revenue and operations are reviewed together because they don’t work in isolation.
-
Yes. This is an evidence-based audit. You’ll be asked to reference dashboards, SOPs, tools, or examples that show how work and decisions move through your business today.
-
You’ll receive a Revenue Systems Blueprint outlining your Optionality Profile, key structural risks, and prioritised 30–60–90 day system recommendations.
-
No. This is a professional audit. If you decide to implement the Blueprint, that would be a separate and optional engagement.
-
The public Founder Optionality Score™ is designed for that stage. This audit is intended for founders who want a professional-grade review of how their systems are actually functioning.
-
Because system design requires evidence, not impressions. This format allows time for review, mapping, and validation — not surface-level discussion.
From founder bottleneck to system-led growth
This revenue system audit is designed for founders who want their business to function through structure, not personal effort.
If you are building toward predictable, repeatable, and transferable revenue, this is the entry point.
