Financial Ops Setup
Build simple reporting and cash visibility so you can make decisions faster — and answer lender/grant questions without scrambling.
What “financial ops” means here
This is not full bookkeeping or tax work. It’s the lightweight operating layer that sits on top of your accounting: dashboards, reporting cadence, and the questions you ask every month.
- Cash visibility (what’s coming in/out and when)
- Simple KPI dashboard (owner‑friendly)
- Monthly reporting rhythm (repeatable)
- Funding‑ready documentation habits
Best for
This is a strong fit if you:
- Feel blind to cash week‑to‑week
- Need better numbers before approaching lenders
- Want a dashboard without building a finance department
- Have multiple revenue streams or seasonal swings
Boundary: we don’t replace your CPA/bookkeeper — we make decision‑making easier.
What’s included
We tailor the dashboard and cadence to your business model, but the core components are consistent.
Cash dashboard
- Receivables & payables view
- Weekly cash runway snapshot
- Assumptions documented
KPI scorecard
- Revenue, margin, labor metrics
- Customer concentration
- Trend notes and “why”
Monthly rhythm
- Close checklist (lightweight)
- Monthly owner review agenda
- Funding‑ready file structure
Optional: funding readiness tie‑in
If you plan to apply for funding, we can align the dashboard outputs to common lender questions (without building anything complex).
Tools
We work with what you already use when possible (spreadsheets + existing accounting reports). No forced software switch unless you want it.
