STOP FINDING OUT YOU'RE SHORT THE MONDAY BEFORE PAYROLL.
Part 2 of Never Miss Payroll Without Taking On Debt covers the 13 week cash flow forecast. A forecast dated on when money really moves is the difference between managing payroll and discovering it. It is published in full, nothing is asked for, and it plays above. The first five sessions fix the five most common financial holes in a subcontracting business. The last one teaches you how to keep a pulse on all five and keep them within spec.
THE 13 WEEK CASH FLOW FORECAST, FIVE THINGS.
The subject outline, so you can see whether this is the hour you need before you spend it. Each one is worked through on screen with the arithmetic rather than described.
Why a forecast built on contract terms is wrong every month in the same direction, and how to date it on how each general contractor really pays.
Thirteen weeks rather than a month, because the week you need to see is rarely the one you're in.
Retainage as its own line, since it's money earned that nobody is going to send you on the normal cycle.
Reading the forecast as a decision tool rather than a report, which means it changes what you do this week.
What to do with a short week you can see coming, in the order that costs the least.
NO WORKBOOK, AND WHAT IT COSTS.
The 13 week forecast workbook is the one paid tool in the series. It also carries the overhead calculator that part four uses.
A spreadsheet can't fix a structural problem, and handing you one would suggest otherwise. The written material covers the build order instead, in the order it has to be done.
ONE OF 6, IN THIS ORDER.
The first five sessions fix the five most common financial holes in a subcontracting business. The last one teaches you how to keep a pulse on all five and keep them within spec. This is part 2, the cash forecasting part. Each one stands on its own, and the order is what makes them compound.
