Profit on paper does not pay tomorrow’s bills.
A business can be profitable and still run short of cash. This often happens when customers pay late, stock absorbs working capital, tax is not reserved, or drawings exceed available cash.
Every SME owner should know:
• The current bank position
• Which debtors should pay within 30 days
• VAT, PAYE and provisional tax accumulating
• Upcoming supplier, payroll and finance commitments
• The cash needed to operate for the next 8–12 weeks
Monthly management accounts should do more than report what happened. They should help you decide what to do next.
