Profit and Cash Flow Advisory

Once the books are right, the pieces start to fit.

Your reports tell you what already happened. Advisory is where we use them to decide what to do next: where the profit comes from, what to pay first, and how to get ready for the slow months.

Questions it answers Advisory

Can I make payroll in three weeks?
What should I pay first?
How much can I safely take out for myself?
When will this debt be gone?

The rhythm

Meetings are the work.

We meet on a schedule we agree at the start.

A forecast you can open any timeNot a report that shows up once and goes stale.
An action list after every meetingShort, in writing: who is doing what, and by when.
Numbers side by sideWhen a decision is on the table, we compare the options before you choose.
Clean books firstAdvisory runs on reconciled books. If yours are not there yet, we start with the diagnostic.

Plainly

What advisory is not.

  • Investment, insurance or securities advice.
  • Tax advice or tax planning. That stays with your CPA.
  • A promise. A forecast is built from your own history, and the decisions stay yours.

It costs nothing to find out where your books stand.

We go through your QuickBooks together and I tell you what I see. If your books are clean enough, I will also show you a few quick moves that could put more money in your pocket.
