1. Cash Flow Management: The Roller Coaster Ride 

The Challenge: Cash flow can be as unpredictable as a surprise party—sometimes it’s overflowing with donations, and other times it’s crickets! This unpredictability can make it tough to cover your day-to-day expenses.

We’ll work with you to create a budget that’s not just realistic but also fun to follow! Regularly monitoring your cash flow means you can spot potential dips and plan ahead—so you can keep that mission rolling smoothly.
