MANAGEMENT QUESTIONS

Examples based on fictional data. The real service builds these questions from uploaded or connected records.

Inventory: Inventory increased $32,000 while sales increased $12,000. What does the stock-aging report and purchasing schedule show?
Cash: Cash fell by $16,000 while receivables increased by $15,000. What changed in collections, payments, and owner distributions?
Margin: Gross margin fell from 35.0% to 30.0%. Which products, prices or cost categories contributed to the change?

What ClearCFO would tell you

Turn the signals into a decision.

Three signals point the same direction: sales grew, but the growth consumed cash instead of producing it. Inventory absorbed $32,000 and customers are holding another $15,000 in unpaid invoices, while gross margin slipped from 35% to 30% — so each new sales dollar is costing more to deliver. The decision this sets up: before ordering more stock, find out whether the inventory build is deliberate or drift, and tighten collections on the oldest receivables. Those two moves protect the cash balance without slowing sales.
