Questions Life Sciences CFOs Are Asking

Forecasts should connect corporate spending with clinical programs, R&D activity, headcount, vendor commitments, financing assumptions, and potential milestones. Scenario modeling can help leadership understand how changes in trial timing, funding, or strategic priorities affect runway.

Finance readiness typically requires an assessment of financial reporting, technical accounting, close timelines, controls, systems, forecasting, SEC reporting capabilities, policies, documentation, and team capacity.

Companies should begin preparing well before compliance becomes an immediate deadline. Starting earlier allows the organization to identify gaps, establish appropriate controls, document processes, and remediate weaknesses without placing unnecessary pressure on the finance organization.
