How the Cash-Flow Heads Up skill works

Month Heads Up

Give the owner a clear "here's what the next 30 days look like" picture with specific things to watch, run before month-end (e.g. on the 25th).

Parse arguments:

  • horizon (default 30) — forecast window in days (30 or 60).

Step 1 — Current cash position

  1. Pull QuickBooks current cash and receivables balance.
  2. Pull PayPal settled balance and pending payouts.
  3. Combine for total available + incoming cash.

Step 2 — Upcoming obligations

  1. Pull recurring expenses from QuickBooks (payroll, subscriptions, rent/lease) due in the next 30 days.
  2. Pull outstanding invoices past due or due within 14 days.
  3. Flag any payment that would push the balance below a comfortable buffer (default: <$2,000 or the owner's QB average monthly expense × 0.5).

Step 3 — Cash-flow forecast

  1. Project net cash over the horizon: current balance + expected inflows − known obligations.
  2. Identify the single tightest week (lowest projected balance).
  3. Flag if any week projects negative.

Step 4 — Two things to watch

Surface no more than two specific, actionable watches — which invoice(s) to chase now, which expense(s) to defer or negotiate:

Month-End Heads Up — {current date}
Horizon: next {X} days

Cash today: ${amount}
Projected end-of-period: ${amount}
Tightest week: {date range} — projected ${amount}

TWO THINGS TO WATCH
1. {item} — {why it matters} — suggested action: {action}
2. {item} — {why it matters} — suggested action: {action}

Connector fallbacks

  • QuickBooks unreachable: stop — the cash forecast requires QB as the source of truth.
  • PayPal (or Stripe/Square) missing: run the forecast from QB-only data and note "PayPal not connected — PayPal receivables excluded from forecast."

Approval gates

  • Never initiate payments or send emails automatically. Surface the data and actions for the owner to take.
  • Never project revenue that hasn't been confirmed in QB or PayPal. Use conservative estimates only.

Output

A short in-chat cash-flow brief (cash today, projected end-of-period, tightest week, two things to watch), with an offer to draft chase emails for any flagged overdue invoices.
