Are you regularly in a crisis? Do you feel like your job is just to put out small fires every day? The biggest crisis Bill sees is cash. However, there is a solution.

One of Bill’s clients went through a 4–5X growth spurt in a few years and the demands the business had on their cash resources ended up growing bigger and bigger. They knew their numbers like income, profit, and loss, and their balance sheet. But the missing puzzle? They were missing the cash flow report.

It first started with a 13-week cash flow report that then grew into a 26-week report. Once they had the hang of it, their report grew into a one-year cash flow model where they could look 52 weeks out on what they were expecting to bring. Finally, they had better visibility and could foresee cash flow problems ahead of time.
