Cash flow, WIP and the CEO report

Three separate downloads: the 13 week forecast, the WIP schedule a bank will accept, and the CEO report skill with the spreadsheet it reads.

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 CEO report spreadsheet, 84 months of P&L and balance sheet lines, that downloads together with the skill
DO THIS IN CFOS FOR QUICKBOOKS

Get the 13 week forecast without the spreadsheet

CFOS builds the 13 week cash forecast from your QuickBooks balances, open invoices, pay apps and open bills. It marks the lowest week and the floor in red. The CEO Report and the WIP come from the same numbers.

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? Get CONTROL. The key's printed inside it, under the QR code at the end of 6 of the 8 chapters.
