Connected Controller & Cash.

A monthly reporting pack, a weekly cash outlook and the processing queues behind them. Bring operations, close and CFO planning into one agreed delivery calendar.

HOW WE BILL

A scoped monthly retainer for recurring work. Outputs, volumes, cadence and fees agreed up front. Setup, cleanup and projects are quoted separately; scope changes are agreed before work begins.

Start with a
defined project.

Financial models & reporting

Build or repair cash forecasts, pricing calculators and investor or lender models. Separate raw imports from calculations, test formulas and leave assumptions easy to update.

EXAMPLE Turn materials, labor and waste assumptions into a repeatable quote model and invoice-import file.

Acquisition & financing support

Prepare acquisition scenarios, earnings adjustments, debt schedules and working-capital analyses. Keep the model, reporting pack and source records consistent.

EXAMPLE A borrowing-base workpaper built from receivables and the lender’s agreed rules, with exceptions ready for review.

Finance systems & automation

Repair mappings, reconcile imports and organize the data behind the work. Start with one broken handoff, then maintain the process as it repeats.

EXAMPLES ADP-to-QuickBooks payroll mapping. Ramp expense workflows. DealCloud cleanup and source-linked enrichment.

QUICKBOOKS ONLINE / MONTHLY CLOSE

One month. A supported set of accounts.

Your records

  • QuickBooks ledger and account balances
  • Bank statements and supporting documents
  • Approved dates, policies and prior schedules

Our work

  • Reconcile balances and investigate differences
  • Roll schedules forward and prepare adjustments
  • Check the statements against source totals

What arrives

  • Close checklist and account workpapers
  • Accrual, prepaid and fixed-asset schedules
  • Monthly statements and open-items list
A prepaid expense, carried through the close.

A $12,000 prepaid balance allocated across 12 approved monthly periods becomes a $1,000 monthly schedule. The schedule supports a proposed adjustment; posting is a separate approval step.

TO DISCUSS
The plan holds the reserve.

The lowest week-end balance leaves $78,000 above the reserve. Confirm collection dates and spending commitments before acting.

Receipts moved beyond week 13$0New-hire payments in these 13 weeks$0
See the assumptions & all 13 weeks

Start with $180,000 cash and a $100,000 reserve. Every scheduled customer receipt moves by the selected number of weeks. There are no additional collections entering from before week 1. Amounts pushed past week 13 are deferred, not lost.

Existing payroll and operating payments stay fixed. The original plan’s payments are split into $23,000 weekly payroll and the remaining operating payments. New-hire cost is paid weekly from the chosen start week, including that week. No revenue benefit, hiring fees, financing or intraweek cash movements are modeled.

All figures in USD. Week 1 ends September 4, 2026; week 13 ends November 27, 2026. Opening cash + receipts − existing payroll − operating payments − new hire = closing cash. The next week opens at the prior week’s closing balance.

SERVICE & RECURRING-REVENUE BUSINESSES

Margins, capacity and recurring revenue.

Connect the work you deliver with the margin it creates. Plan staffing, understand customer profitability and keep recurring billing in order.

  • Customer & project profitability
  • Staffing capacity & utilization
  • Contract billing & commission schedules
  • Hiring & growth cash scenarios

Agreed up front.
Delivered on schedule.

One coordinated workflow keeps your records, reporting and planning moving. We check the work against your records and deliver the agreed files, an explanation of what changed and focused questions when we need your input. Your agreed approval roles stay in place.

ONE CONTINUING WORK QUEUE

Records → checks → questions → delivery

Each open item carries an owner, a next step and its effect on the work.
01 / DEFINE THE FINISH LINE

Agree what arrives.

Outputs, volumes, cadence, source records and approval responsibilities. Agree the monthly retainer or project fee before work begins.

02 / PREPARE THE RECORDS

Get the handoffs right.

Confirm access, map the data and separate historical cleanup from recurring work. Identify the facts your business needs to supply.

03 / DELIVER THE FIRST CYCLE

Make the work inspectable.

Prepare the agreed files, tie them to source totals and surface exceptions. Review the first output together.

04 / KEEP THE RHYTHM

Carry the work forward.

Refresh the cash forecast and processing queues each week. Close the month, explain changes and carry open questions into the next cycle.

Before we begin.

Can you work with our accountant or CFO firm?

Yes. We can prepare the reports and schedules for one client or support several engagements. Templates, review responsibilities and handoffs are agreed with your team.

What if our records are incomplete?

We identify the gaps and ask your business contact focused questions. Setup or historical cleanup is scoped separately. Assumptions and unresolved items stay visible in the work.

What do you need from us?

Access to the agreed systems and records, plus a business contact who can confirm missing facts, estimates and decisions. We define the workflow and ask focused questions as they arise.

What comes back to our team?

Focused questions about facts only your business can confirm: a payment reference, a project’s remaining cost or a hiring date. Each question explains what is missing and which output it affects. The item stays open until the answer is checked against the records.

How do fees work?

Recurring work is covered by a monthly retainer with agreed outputs, volumes and delivery dates. Setup, historical cleanup and defined projects are quoted separately. If your needs change, we agree the revised scope and fee before additional work begins. Shared preparation is accounted for once.

Can you fix one problem before taking on recurring work?

Yes. Start with a model repair, payroll mapping, reconciliation backlog or reporting project. Once the records and workflow are ready, the same process can become recurring support.

Do we have to change our software?

We start with your existing systems and agree how the data will move. For QuickBooks Online, you approve the connection through Intuit’s authorization screen. Other tools may use app authorization, API credentials or checked file exports. We confirm the available route, permissions and setup before recurring delivery begins.
