Founder Cash Plan
Owner pay and taxes get messy when business cash and personal cash blur together. The Founder Cash Plan turns that mess into a clear, repeatable system for pay, tax set-asides, and spending boundaries tied to real cash flow. You get simple decision rules you can follow monthly without rebuilding a spreadsheet every time.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you book.
We build a plan based on cash flow, obligations, and tax needs so decisions stay clear and repeatable. You get recommended ranges and rules you can apply monthly as the business changes.
It works best with current books because decisions depend on accurate cash and profit visibility. If your books are behind, we can scope cleanup first and then build the plan on a clean baseline.
Yes. The goal is to create a consistent set-aside rhythm so estimates do not become surprises. We align the cadence to your entity and filing timeline.
Some teams implement internally; others want us to maintain the cadence monthly so the plan stays current. We clarify the ongoing workflow and accountability during delivery.
If you want a one-time number with no intention to follow a monthly cadence, it will not hold up for long. This works best when you want repeatable rules and ongoing visibility.
