What the Cash Flow & AR does
- Turns a completed job into an invoice — the first one to a new customer waits for your sign-off; repeat invoices on the same template go on their own once you've okayed a few
- Sends invoices through Stripe on your connected account and tracks card and ACH payments as they land
- Keeps the AR aging ledger — what is outstanding, how old, for how much — and hands overdue accounts to Customer Communication to chase
- Projects cash 30 / 60 / 90 days out — the floor if everyone pays late, the likely, and the cellar — from AR, recurring expenses, and your seasonality
- Flags a projected shortfall before it reaches your bank account, and never touches payouts, refunds, or bill-pay — that stays with you in Stripe
Why it helps garage door owners
Most cash-flow surprises are math that already happened — a slow quarter in Q3 shows up in Q4 payroll. Cash Flow runs the math for you weekly and tells you where it's going, so decisions about hiring, equipment, or holidays aren't guesses.
