The Challenge
What was getting in the way
The starting point before we rebuilt process, reporting, or both.
The company was planning a hiring wave and equipment purchase with only a bank balance view. Leadership needed a 13-week cash forecast and a simple budget they could revisit monthly.
Our Approach
What we put in place
Practical steps that created a repeatable finance rhythm.
01.
Mapped expected collections, payroll, rent, vendor payments, and tax remittances from current books.
02.
Built a rolling 13-week cash-flow model and a first-pass annual budget by department.
03.
Ran two working sessions with ownership to pressure-test hiring timing and spend priorities.
Results
What changed
- Hiring plan delayed by one quarter based on forecast runway.
- Leadership adopted a monthly budget vs. actual review habit.
- Cash decisions moved from gut feel to a shared model.
