MOTENZA BUSINESS ADVISOR / 90-DAY FINANCIAL CONTROL

90-Day Business Financial Turnaround

Turn financial pressure into a working plan.

When cash flow is unpredictable, it can be difficult to plan upcoming payments. Build a practical 13-week cash forecast, prioritize operating actions, and establish a regular review process for the next 90 days.

90-day engagement · Cash planning · Defined review cadence

The program provides analysis and operational planning. It does not guarantee a turnaround, resolve insolvency, negotiate debt settlements, or replace legal or tax advice.

Plan ahead for upcoming cash needs.

Unexpected cash gaps?

Look beyond today's balance to the customer payments and expenses expected in the weeks ahead.

Changing payment priorities?

Bring expected receipts, operating costs, and upcoming commitments into one cash plan.

Need a consistent review process?

Define who updates the forecast, who reviews it, and how the team follows up on agreed actions.

This program is for an operating business able to provide current data and participate in the agreed review process. Urgent insolvency, litigation, or statutory payment issues require immediate support from the appropriate professional.

Visibility, priorities, and a repeatable operating rhythm.

A 13-week cash view.

Organize expected receipts and committed outflows by week, with assumptions that can be challenged and updated.

A priority action register.

Separate immediate tasks from longer-term changes. Assign an owner, a due date, and the information needed to act.

Operating decision rules.

Clarify how your team reviews spending, follows up on receivables, and escalates potential cash gaps within existing agreements and obligations.

A review rhythm.

Compare the forecast with updated information and use the differences to refine the plan.

Scenario assumptions.

Compare the baseline with the agreed downside case. See which receipt dates, costs, or operating assumptions make the cash position more sensitive.

Visible dependencies.

Keep expected payments and management actions linked to the assumptions behind the plan. A forecast is a planning tool, not confirmation that a customer will pay on time.

Three phases. One working plan.

Days 1–15 — Establish the baseline.

Confirm the opening cash position, organize the immediate commitments, build the first forecast, and identify information gaps.

Days 16–45 — Put priorities into motion.

Work through agreed receivables, expense, and reporting actions. Track responsibilities and update assumptions as new information arrives.

Days 46–90 — Build a sustainable routine.

Refine the review process, evaluate progress against the starting picture, and create a handover plan for the next quarter.

Timeline note

The program starts on the agreed engagement date after the minimum required information is available. The pace of individual actions depends on data quality, management participation, and third-party decisions.

SEE THE THINKING

See potential cash gaps in your 13-week forecast.

In this hypothetical 13-week plan, the lowest projected cash balance is negative $8,000. A separate scenario assumes that $12,000 of overdue receivables, originally outside the forecast window, is collected in week 5.

Takeaway

The scenario illustrates the effect of collection timing. It does not create new revenue or profit, and the assumed payment may not arrive. A useful plan makes that dependency visible and identifies what the team should monitor.

Illustrative example — not a client result or forecast. All values and payment assumptions are hypothetical. A negative balance represents an unresolved cash requirement, not permission to overdraw or miss obligations.

Opening cash: $21,000. The scenario adds only $12,000 of receipts in week 5; all outflows remain unchanged. Scenario opening balances carry forward the preceding scenario closing balance.

$5,00090-day engagement

Best for

Owners who want a weekly review cadence and help putting selected operating routines in place.

Everything in Guided Turnaround, with these upgrades:

  • Twelve 30-minute review sessions instead of six, including the final handover.
  • Up to twelve forecast refreshes using timely information supplied by your team.
  • Two additional operating scenarios beyond the baseline and downside views.
  • Implementation support for two agreed workstreams, such as invoice follow-up routines and spending-approval rules.

This is not an outsourced finance department, full bookkeeping service, debt-negotiation service, or software integration project. Management retains responsibility for decisions, payments, payroll, taxes, and execution.

The prices shown apply to the defined package scope. We confirm business fit, data availability, deliverables, timing, and the final fee in a written engagement before work begins.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Before we begin.

A useful 90-day plan starts with today's cash position and the decisions ahead. These answers explain the information needed, how the forecast is maintained, and what the engagement includes.

Bring the next 90 days into focus.

Your starting point
Identify expected customer receipts, committed payments, and any gaps in the records. Separate confirmed amounts from estimates.
The decisions ahead
Describe the upcoming payroll, purchasing, or operating commitments that need attention—and when your team needs to decide.
A workable review routine
Identify who can supply updated information and review changes with your team. Forecast updates and advisory sessions follow the selected package.

Start with a business-level summary, not sensitive records. Scope, responsibilities, timing, and the fee are agreed in writing before work begins.

Does “turnaround” mean you guarantee that the business will recover?

No. The service provides planning, analysis, and a defined support process. Outcomes depend on the business situation, implementation, customers, counterparties, and other factors outside the engagement.

Do you contact creditors or change our payment agreements?

No debt settlement or creditor negotiation is included. Any changes to contractual terms must be agreed with the relevant counterparty. Legal or insolvency matters should be addressed by the appropriate professional.

Who updates the cash forecast?

In Guided Turnaround, your team maintains the weekly model and we review it at the agreed sessions. Execution Partnership includes up to twelve refreshes based on information supplied by your team.

Is $5,000 charged every month?

No. The displayed fee is for the defined 90-day engagement. It does not create a monthly subscription. Any later engagement requires a separate agreement.

Can the program begin without current records?

A minimum information set is required to build a meaningful baseline. If records need substantial cleanup, we will identify that before agreeing the scope and start date.

What happens after day 90?

You receive the agreed handover materials and next priorities. There is no automatic renewal. Further support, if needed, is scoped separately.
