September Business Overview
Historical snapshot, superseded September 16. The cash balance, Stripe pending amount, payment timing and Colin collection scenario below are no longer current. Use the live dashboard and current cash-flow page for decisions.
This review looks at whether current cash covers the rest of September. The plan leaves about $850 at month-end with no new collections. Keeping a $5,000 reserve needs about $4,150, or $29,150 if the separate Bermann reimbursement is paid this month.
Planning view for discussion. Based on the September 12 review, not a fresh account check. Unverified bills and pending transfers could increase the need. The $3,000 still settling at Stripe is excluded from bank cash.
Cash Waterfall
$55,375 in bank cash covers $54,524 of planned costs. Payroll includes planned transfer fees. Other costs include contractors, cleaning, insurance, software and office expenses.

Cash Through September 30
The $5,000 reserve is breached on September 29 in the base plan, or September 18 if the reimbursement leaves September 14. Both assume no new collections.

Payables and Open Questions
The $25,000 reimbursement is the largest immediate question. Confirm its purpose and any earlier payment. The older invoices need liability and payment checks; they are not a combined amount due.
Other amounts outside the plan
Up to $15,367 of earlier scheduled or processing transfers may need an adjustment if not already reflected in available cash. Also unresolved: the $10,000 September IRCM fee shown above, $5,000 marketing, $1,571 subscription reimbursement, card debt, new staff pay, plant and pest invoices, and whether Veronica's $2,600 reserve should be replaced by $7,000. Deferred IRCM arrears of $20,000 remain outside the plan. Amounts can overlap and must not be added without reconciliation.

Receivables Review
$78,600 shown open in Practice Better is not $78,600 of new cash. Only $25,000 remains a potential collection pool after removing received, held and unpublished amounts. Timing and any unrecorded receipts still need checking.
Collecting the largest $15,000 balance would lift the base month-end cash to about $15,850. No collection is assumed in either cash chart.

Recent Payment Status
| Payment | Amount | Latest evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Office rent balance | $5,000 | Wire sent Sept 10 |
| Veronica package | $7,557 | Three transfers processing |
| Yvette first full week | $1,200 | Paid through proxy |
| Olivia extra Friday | $600 | Transfer scheduled |
| Sarah hotel | $567 | Payment confirmed |
| Perfect Touch | $800 | Check status unverified |
The original $30,000 rent was covered by a $25,000 rent credit and the $5,000 wire. Do not reserve another $30,000. Sent and processing payments still need final settlement checks.

Next Steps
- Set the reimbursement amount and timing.
Confirm whether the $25,000 for Bermann is additional to prior payments before choosing the funding amount. - Confirm cash and existing payments.
Check the current available balance and pending debits. Keep already-paid rent and staff payments out of a new payment run. - Turn receivables into a dated cash plan.
Confirm payment timing on the $25,000 candidate pool and reconcile the $22,000 already received but still open in Practice Better.
The immediate choice is whether to plan for roughly $4,150 or $29,150 of additional cash, before the other unresolved costs.
