This week's pulse

What your accountant would flag this week, straight from the books.

$42,000 is stuck in invoices over 60 days old

5 invoices have been out more than two months. Collection odds drop fast from here. Worth a personal nudge this week; reply here and we send the reminders for you.

Cash is trending up: $560,495 in sight

From $340,095 today to $560,495 in eight weeks if invoices and bills land on their due dates. A good stretch to decide what that surplus should do: taxes set aside, a cushion, or reinvestment. Happy to run the numbers on any of the three.

Your August 2026 report
Revenue$404,408
Expenses$315,119
Net income$89,289
Cash at month end$236,559
From your accountant

August was a full-season month: $404,408 of contract revenue and change orders against $315,119 of costs, leaving $89,289. Materials and subcontractors move with the work, so the swing is normal. What is not normal is how much is still outstanding. You are carrying $206,400 past due, and $22,400 of that is more than ninety days old. On remodeling work that usually means a draw that was never formally approved rather than a client who will not pay, so it is worth checking which jobs are stuck before the season winds down.
