What this means
Prepared by your accountant
- Customers are slow to pay. $62,000 is sitting with customers, about 35 days of sales. Invoicing on completion and offering card or payment links could free up around $25,000 if this came down to 21 days.
- Winter needs planning. Sales dropped to $39,000 in July, a loss-making month. A lawn-care plan or winter offer that brings in steady work would smooth the quiet months.
- Drawings are higher than profit. $88,000 was taken out against $82,140 profit, so cash fell from $50,000 to $12,040. A set monthly wage for the owner, reviewed each quarter, keeps the bank balance safe.
