Financial Snapshot.

Put your whole financial position on one page: your cash, what you are owed, what you owe, how current your books are, and a first read of what money is truly yours to spend. You cannot diagnose what you have not laid out.

At the very start of the Financial Health Diagnostic, before you try to name what is wrong. Fill in what you can, and where a number is a guess, mark it as a guess.

Cash and books

Total cash in all accounts, today

Date your books were last reconciled to the bank

Do you trust your current reports? Yes / Somewhat / No

What you are owed and what you owe

Money owed to you that you expect to collect (pledges, grants earned, invoices, reimbursements)

Money you owe soon (bills, payroll, loans, payables)

A first read of your money's strings

Of your total cash, roughly how much came in for a specific purpose and is not free to spend?

So, roughly, how much is genuinely free to spend right now? (cash minus spoken-for)

The year so far

Are you running ahead of, behind, or even with your plan for the year, as best you can tell?

If you have no plan to compare to, note that

You are not solving anything yet. You are making the picture honest. Two quick flags to carry into the next step: if your books are more than a month behind, visibility is likely part of your problem. If your free-to-spend number is much smaller than your total cash, or you cannot tell, restricted funds are likely part of it.
