CMG Financial Solutions Launches COMPASS Diagnostic™ - Identifies Performance Gaps Before They Become Fatal

Author of "Finding True North" Launches COMPASS Diagnostic™ - Turning Business Framework Into Actionable Assessment Service
ALPHARETTA, GA, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CMG Financial Solutions, an Atlanta-based strategic financial consulting firm specializing in fractional CFO services and M&A advisory, today announced the launch of its COMPASS Diagnostic™ service — a comprehensive business assessment that combines the COMPASS Framework™, the strategic principles outlined in partner Don King's book "Finding True North: Building Business Excellence Through the COMPASS Framework", and the COMPASS Playbook, which utilizes AI-driven market and financial intelligence to deliver prioritized objectives tailored specifically to each company with actionable timelines at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months — a focused approach to achieving a company's true potential.
The service addresses a critical gap in the market: most privately held businesses operate at approximately 60% of their potential capacity, not due to lack of effort or talent, but because they lack structured frameworks for identifying where operational and financial performance is breaking down.
"Business owners are some of the hardest-working, most capable people I know," said Don King, Partner at CMG Financial Solutions. "But most are running their companies without the CFO-level strategic insight that larger enterprises take for granted. The COMPASS Diagnostic was built to change that — to give privately held businesses a clear, data-driven understanding of exactly where they stand and a roadmap for getting where they want to go."
Since 2016, CMG Financial Solutions has supported nearly $350 million in business transactions, including acquisitions, growth capital raises, refinancing, and strategic expansion initiatives. The COMPASS Diagnostic integrates this practical experience with the COMPASS Playbook's AI-driven intelligence to deliver actionable insights.
The COMPASS Diagnostic includes:
- Two-year financial analysis with trend identification and performance drivers
- Full COMPASS Framework™ scoring across seven critical business dimensions: Capital & Cash Flow, Organization Design, Margin Quality, Planning & Execution, Accounting & Reporting, Systems & Technology, and Sales & Go-to-Market
- NAICS industry benchmarking to compare performance against peer companies
- The COMPASS Playbook with prioritized objectives tailored specifically to the company and actionable timelines at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months
The assessment is designed for privately held businesses across all industries, particularly those preparing for growth, considering acquisition or sale, seeking financing, or experiencing performance challenges they cannot clearly diagnose.
"The companies that improve fastest are the ones that know exactly where to focus," King added. "The COMPASS Diagnostic eliminates guesswork. It shows business owners precisely where operational inefficiencies exist, quantifies their impact, and prioritizes the highest-value improvements."
For a limited time, CMG Financial Solutions is offering complimentary COMPASS Diagnostic Reviews to qualified business owners. Interested parties can schedule a consultation at https://calendly.com/donking-cmgfinancialsolutions/30min or visit www.cmgfinancialsolutions.net.
