If by “financial side” you mean financial aid at Ivies and the like, you can ask coaches to have a financial aid pre-read done along with the academic pre-read (different department, so timing might not sync up exactly). That’ll be a complete review of your financial aid app and tax docs, so a very reliable estimate.

Be aware that Ivies will match each other on financial aid. HYP are generally best for aid, so the others will usually run a P or H or Y analysis if you’ve had recruiting interest or a FA estimate from from one of those. Cornell will match Stanford, MIT, Duke as well as other Ivies. Coaches will know how to deal with this. Some will want you to verify x# of contacts from coaches at those schools, others might want more.

If you are talking athletic scholarships, discussion of that might be a bit less straightforward. Often coaches will bring this up without nudging, but at some point over the summer it’d be fine for your daughter to slip in a question like, when do you make decisions about scholarships and does it seem like I might be in that pool…?

I find timeline questions- when do you usually make decisions about official visits, who to support, etc—usually yield pretty good info.
