Smart, Controlled Cash Flow — Month After Month.

Cash Flow Management

Every business should understand how their cash flows through their books to make the best decisions. To do that, we:

  • Review historical cash flow statements and bank activity

  • Map inflows (sales, loans, owner contributions) and outflows (payroll, COGS, operating costs & debt)

  • Identify timing gaps, chronic late payers, and high-variance expense lines

Invoices & Collections

We see this same problem over and over again. Businesses do not quickly or accurately invoice for the work they have completed. To remedy this, we:

  • Standardize invoice timing, terms, and late-fee policy

  • Enable multiple payment options and auto-reminders

  • Build a weekly AR follow-up routine with roles and scripts

Expense Control

Every small business owner knows they should tightly control every expense but few have the time. Our program helps by:

  • Categorize and trend expenses to spot waste

  • Cancel unused subscriptions and renegotiate vendor terms

  • Implement purchasing rules and approval thresholds

Savings Plan

What happens if sales slow down? Or expenses increase dramatically? Following a controlled savings plan will help you prepare for the future.

  • Set a target reserve (typically 3–6 months of core expenses)

  • Automate monthly transfers to a separate savings account

  • Create draw/replenish rules so the reserve stays intact

Tracking & Reporting

Rolling cash forecasts are updated weekly to monitor performance. This data analysis will advise:

  • Simple weekly cash dashboard: cash on hand, AR aging, upcoming outflows

  • Month-end summary explaining what changed and why

  • 13-week rolling cash forecast updated weekly

  • Seasonality and pipeline adjustments

How It Works

  • Week 1: Assess & Stabilize

    • Connect accounts, pull 12 months of data, and plug the biggest gaps (invoicing cadence, overdue AR, high-variance spending identified).

  • Weeks 2 and 3: Implement Controls

    • Roll out invoice terms/automation, set vendor cadence, cancel waste, and stand up the 13-week forecast.

  • Week 4 and ongoing: Operate & Improve

    • Update the forecast, track key points, and adjust as the business changes.
