Cash Confusion

When revenue looks healthy but cash still feels tight, something important is being missed.

Does Cash Feel Harder Than It Should?

Many profitable businesses still feel constant cash pressure. Bills get tighter, decisions feel riskier, and owners hesitate even when revenue is growing.

Cash confusion doesn’t mean the business is failing — it means timing, structure, or assumptions are working against you.

Why Cash Becomes Unpredictable

Cash issues usually stem from:

  • Revenue timing that doesn’t match expense timing
  • Growth increasing working capital needs
  • Fixed costs rising faster than margins
  • Relying on profit reports instead of cash flow reality

The danger isn’t low cash — it’s *surprise* cash shortages.

What Keystone Does Differently

We don’t just show cash balances. We explain *why* cash behaves the way it does — and what will change it.

By connecting sales timing, expenses, and operational decisions, we turn cash from a constant worry into a predictable outcome.

Our Cash Clarity Process

1. Cash Reality Mapping We map where cash actually comes in and goes out — by timing, not just totals.
2. Pressure Point Identification We identify the exact moments cash tightens and why.
3. Forward Cash Modeling We model upcoming weeks and months to remove surprises.
4. Decision Alignment You see how hiring, pricing, and growth decisions affect cash before they’re made.
