Most mid-market firms manage their cash by looking at a static annual budget or a monthly P&L statement. By the time you see a cash crunch in a monthly report, the problem is already 30 days old—and often too late to fix without expensive emergency financing.
Monthly Buckets Hide Weekly Crises
At Pinnacle Horizon Partners, our core methodology centers on the 13-week rolling cash forecast. Why? Because a monthly bucket is a dangerous illusion.
The Scenario: You might be "profitable" for the month of March.
The Reality: If your $500k payroll is due on the 15th, but your $600k client payment doesn't arrive until the 20th, you have a liquidity crisis that a P&L cannot show you.
Institutional Discipline
We bring the same "Wall Street" rigor I used to manage $500M cash portfolios at Universal and Disney to your mid-market business. Our rigorous weekly update cycle ensures perfect liquidity and gives you the visibility to time your payables, manage burn rates, and execute investments strategically.
