Most owners find out about a cash problem after it has already happened. We build forward-looking cash visibility so decisions get made with clarity, not guesswork.
No cost. 15 minutes. No obligation.
Revenue is not cash. A business can be profitable on paper and still run out of money because of timing, receivables, inventory, or owner draws taken at the wrong moment. Without forward-looking visibility, decisions about hiring, equipment, distributions, and debt get made on instinct, and instinct is expensive.
If you cannot forecast cash, you cannot control the business. You are reacting to numbers that already happened.KEYSTONE CONSULTING TEAM
A forward cash flow projection that updates each month, built on your real revenue cycle, receivables timing, payables, and debt service. Not a static spreadsheet that goes stale in a week.
A monthly view of accounts receivable aging, inventory turns, days payable, and the cash conversion cycle, so you can see where cash is trapped and how to release it.
A disciplined close that produces real numbers within days, not weeks, so the forecast is always built on current data, not last quarter's guess.
Map how cash enters and leaves the business today: receivables, payables, inventory, debt, and owner draws. Find where it stalls.
Construct the 13-month rolling forecast on your actual transaction rhythm, with scenarios for growth, contraction, and planned investments.
Stand up the working capital dashboard and tie it to your monthly close so the numbers stay current.
Train your team to maintain it, then review it with you monthly so decisions get made against the forecast, not after the fact.
The measurable shift each engagement is built to produce.
Cash visibility does not create cash. It stops you from being surprised by the cash you already have. The owners who benefit most are the ones who have been making decisions blind and getting lucky, because luck runs out exactly when the business gets complex enough to matter.
Cash predictability is scored inside the KCE and KEV Index. Poor cash predictability is one of the most common value destroyers we find in the diagnostic, because a buyer or lender will not pay a premium for a business whose cash they cannot model.
This work directly informs the KCE Keystone Cash Efficiency Index™, KEV Keystone Enterprise Value Index™.
Payer mix and reimbursement timing make cash lumpy. We build the visibility that matches your revenue cycle.

See the angleSeasonal revenue and equipment purchases strain cash. We forecast around the cycle.
See the angleThirteen months rolling. The first three months are granular and tied to real receivables and payables. Beyond that, the forecast uses your revenue cycle and growth assumptions. It is a living model, not a one-time document.
Bookkeeping records what happened. Cash forecasting shows what is about to happen. Most owners have clean books and no forward visibility, which is why cash problems still surprise them.
No. We work with your bookkeeper and CPA. The forecast depends on a clean monthly close, so we coordinate rather than replace.
