Funding Uncertainty: Building Operational Resilience

Shift from reacting to leading through financial and operational transformation.

Navigating Funding Uncertainty Through Business Continuity Planning

Strategic Financial Modeling, Risk Assessment, and Continuity Planning to Navigate Funding Uncertainty

When priorities shift or disruption looms, will you be ready? AAFCPAs helps clients think several steps ahead. Work with a team of CFOs and data analysts to model financial scenarios, assess risk, and plan for uncertainty. Clients often seek guidance when a funder shifts terms, leadership changes, or new regulations demand operational change. Others call us to pressure-test readiness or realign financial priorities with mission outcomes. Whether preparing for growth, restructuring, or responding to disruption, we help translate financial data into insight that supports smarter, faster decisions.

Building a Decision-Making Framework Before a Crisis Hits

When operations or funding is disrupted, continuity planning helps protect stakeholders and sustain essential functions. AAFCPAs helps you reduce downtime, respond with agility, and build long-term resilience.

Structure Your Response Before It’s Needed

Resilient organizations do not improvise in a crisis. We help establish a decision-making framework that includes a program sponsor with authority to act and a cross-functional team that brings clarity to resource planning and risk prioritization. AAFCPAs facilitates this process and ensures all voices are aligned before pressure hits.

Know What’s at Stake

We help you assess the likelihood and severity of events—from cyberattacks and pandemics to grant freezes, contract terminations, and supply chain breakdowns. Our business impact analyses surface critical dependencies and quantify the operational and financial outcomes of disruption, so leadership may act with confidence.

Keep Continuity Plans in Motion

Plans must be living documents. We guide clients in reviewing, updating, and testing their strategies regularly—through partial or full simulations. One client tested remote operations with one-third of its call center before the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing them to scale quickly when lockdowns began. Another tested access to clinical systems during a cyber event, maintaining patient care without data loss.

Recover Stronger After a Disruption

Continuity planning should evolve with each disruption. AAFCPAs helps clients conduct structured post-event reviews to assess what worked, what broke down, and what must change. We bring financial, operational, and technical insight to these debriefs, helping you strengthen internal controls, refine risk assumptions, and improve readiness. This process turns setbacks into a more informed, agile response—built on data, not guesswork.

Plan with a Partner Who Knows Your World

AAFCPAs works alongside your leadership, finance, and operations teams—not in silos. We serve as an extension of your internal capacity, helping you stay focused, make timely decisions, and build organizational resilience one step at a time. We bring continuity to your continuity planning.

Hear From Our Clients

  • “During the Covid-19 Pandemic, AAFCPAs was a huge help in navigating the financial complexities and uncertainties of the time. The team’s insightful knowledge sharing and expertise continue post covid, e.g., my team recently attended a valuable webinar on the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) that was taught by my lead partner who effectively led us through a very complicated and nuanced landscape. The firm’s expertise is a great help to us, and we appreciate all that we receive from our client relationship. I highly recommend the services of AAFCPAs.”
