KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
Control Your Cash Flow
See what is coming in and going out before you spend it, so profit on paper turns into money in the account.
What it solves
A business can show a profit on paper and still have an empty account. This guide is for owners who feel the squeeze between payments and bills. You map money in and out, line up timing, build a starter buffer, split each payment into buckets, and check cash weekly so a slow month never becomes a crisis.
What this is worth: A bookkeeper plus a fractional CFO runs $2,000 to $4,000 a month.

Questions, answered
The file's answer is that cash trouble is usually timing, not profit. Bills hit before money lands. Step two lines up due dates with income, uses deposits, and has you invoice the day a job finishes.
The file suggests starting with 2 to 4 weeks of costs, built by moving a small percent of every payment aside. You only touch it for real gaps.
Your monthly income and expenses, your upcoming bills and payroll dates, and your current account balance. Those three let you map the flow and spot the timing gaps.
