Why cash feels strong — until it doesn’t
A founder-friendly guide to the early signs of cash drift: receivables stretch, inventory compression, and the hidden cost of “busy.”
This library is built for Australian founders and leadership teams who want concise explanations of what’s really happening inside cash, margins, and performance signals. Each note focuses on a specific business situation and the small set of metrics that best explain it.
These notes are intentionally practical. They help you recognise patterns, ask better questions of your numbers, and align your team around a shared financial story—without introducing pricing tables or tariff blocks on the site.
