For the current month

Closing cash$446,000

Net cash used$54,000

Cash below $100k: baseMonth +9

Executive summary

Revenue was $5,000 below plan after a customer start moved. Lower contractor spend partly offset the shortfall. The hiring plan and cash forecast are updated; the key decision is the lead time for financing.

Major changes this month

Hiring: a $10,000-per-month role moves to Month +2. The first forecast month retains $10,000 more cash.
Customer timing: a delayed customer start moves into Month +1. Revenue recognition and collection timing are modeled separately.
Office plans: a proposed office has not been approved and is excluded. Its cost can be tested before committing.

Already handled

The statements reconcile to closing cash. The forecast, variance explanations, and hiring assumptions are updated and versioned. Approved equity records were checked; no shares or awards were issued this month.

Decision to consider

Plan financing against the Month +7 lower-collections cash threshold, two months earlier than the base case. Agree the lead time required before setting a target funding date. No uncommitted financing is included in either scenario.

Scroll the plan to see each month. Actual cash is reconciled to the statements; forward months use the latest approved assumptions.

Consider an earlier financing plan.

The downside reaches the cash buffer two months earlier than the base case. Confirm the financing lead time and target completion before that trigger. The base case first projects negative cash in Month +12; the downside in Month +9.

Connected to the close: Current-month cash receipts of $42,000 less $96,000 of payments equal the $54,000 cash use in the statement of cash flows. Payroll, customer timing, and operating commitments feed the forward plan. Original budget and prior forecast versions remain available.

Revenue: $5,000 below plan

A customer start moved to Month +1. Recognition and collection assumptions have been updated separately, rather than treating booked revenue as immediate cash.

Contractors: $3,000 below plan

Lower project activity reduced current-period expense. No permanent saving is assumed without an approved scope change.

Next-month plan

The approved hiring delay removes $10,000 from Month +1 planned cash outflows. Forecast v1.3 retains the Month +2 start and all later hiring costs. The original budget is preserved for comparison.
