Engagement path
The sequence we follow with every cash-focused client
Consulting work succeeds when owners know what happens next. This page shows how File Ribbon Base Consulting runs financial planning and cash-flow advisory for SMEs from first call to handover.
-
Intake call
We confirm your entity structure, the cash question you want answered, and which statements you can share. If the fit is weak—for example, you need bookkeeping or tax filing—we say so early.
-
Document intake
You send the last twelve months of bank activity, aged receivables and payables, and major upcoming commitments. We flag gaps before the first working session.
-
Cash-cycle walkthrough
Together we walk how invoices turn into cash, when suppliers must be paid, and where inventory or project milestones stretch the gap. This is where timing surprises usually appear.
-
Forecast build
We construct a 13-week rolling view with your numbers, then stress it with delayed receipts and unexpected outflows. Owners stay in the room so assumptions stay honest.
-
90-day action plan
You leave with written priorities, named owners for follow-up, and a schedule for the first Monday reviews. Retainer clients continue with monthly owner briefings.

Most flagship engagements run six to eight weeks. Shorter checkups are available when you need a diagnostic before committing to a fuller review.
