That's like checking your gas gauge and calling it a road trip plan.
Your bank balance tells you what's there today. It says nothing about what's coming in, what's going out, or how long you've got before things get tight.
So I built you something. Paste in your trial balance and it spits out the 5 numbers that actually run your business:
- Cash on hand
- Revenue
- Profit
- Money owed TO you
- Money you OWE
Plus your runway in months and a plain-English verdict telling you if you're fine or need to act.
No formulas to write. No accounting degree required. Tag your account types from a dropdown and it does the rest.
Grab it below as an excel file or get the googlesheet version here. Run your real numbers through it this week and drop your verdict in the comments — I want to see who's flying green and who just found out they're closer to the edge than they thought. Your books should answer questions, not create them.
If you need help setting it up so it works with your trial balance, just let me know and they will be happy to help.
