Cash flow, WIP and the CEO report

Four separate downloads: the 13 week forecast, the WIP schedule a bank will accept, the CEO report skill, and the guide that installs it.

WHAT IS IN IT

The template covers

ITEM 01
The 13 week forecast, with receipts modelled from expected receipt date and retainage on its own dated line
ITEM 02
A WIP schedule in the format a surety and a bank both accept, with overbilling and underbilling as their own columns
ITEM 03
A Claude skill that builds the 13 month CEO report from your own P&L and balance sheet, benchmarked to your trade
ITEM 04
A setup guide for the skill, written for somebody who has never installed one
ACCESS ยท KEY REQUIRED

This one is gated

Scanning the QR code in chapter 7 opens it with nothing to type. If you typed the address yourself, enter the key printed under that code. It's the same key on every chapter, so one look at any of them opens all 6.

No key? CONTROL publishes October 1, 2026 and the key is printed in it, under the QR code at the end of 6 of the 8 chapters.

THE CHAPTER BEHIND IT

Weekly bookkeeping, cost to complete, and one CEO report, on the same days every month.

CHAPTER 7
Monthly cadence
What the chapter covers and what has to be true before it works.
STEP 07
The monthly close that takes a contractor 5 hours
The working reference: dependencies, what it feeds, and how to tell it's installed.

All 6 templates
Every template, and why two chapters carry none.
THE OTHER FIVE

More templates

CHAPTER 1
Job cost code template
Two separate cost code structures, one built for a subcontractor and one built for a general contractor, because the two trades sort cost differently.
CHAPTER 2
Equipment cost basis worksheet
Ownership, maintenance and insurance in one sheet, so equipment gets charged to the job that used it.
CHAPTER 3
Overhead calculator
Enter your indirect costs at whatever frequency you pay them, and get the overhead rate your bids have to carry.
CHAPTER 4
Estimating alignment meeting agenda
The agenda that gets estimating and accounting using the same cost codes.
CHAPTER 6
PM standards pack
The written standards your project managers follow so billing dates hold without you chasing them.
