FAQ
Questions about cash flow
Why 13 weeks?
It's a full quarter: short enough to forecast accurately week by week, long enough to act before a problem arrives.
Do we need to change our accounting software?
No. We work from what you already use, such as QuickBooks, Xero or spreadsheets, and connect cloud FP&A tools on top when they help.
How long until we see something useful?
It depends on your data and scope. Before any work starts, you get a written plan with dates for each deliverable.
