Inputs from your team
- Bank balances and aging reports

- Cash + AR/AP inputs
- assumption log
- dated weekly scenario.
The operating problem
Short-term cash views become stale when receivable, payable, payroll, debt, and recurring-payment inputs update on different schedules.

Decisions stay accountable
Controls your team retains

- Management approves assumptions and timing overrides
- Financing decisions remain client-owned
- Scenarios are labeled as forecasts, not guarantees
