How much do I actually have?
Cash per QuickBooks. These balances are only as current as your last QBO bank feed sync -- log into QBO periodically to refresh. Not what's owed to you or what you owe others.
Am I making money?
Gross profit = what's left after materials and labor. Net income = what's left after ALL expenses. A healthy small manufacturer targets 65-70% gross margin and 20% net margin.
What's the minimum I need to sell?
Your break-even point -- the minimum revenue needed to cover all costs. Below this, you're losing money. Above it, you're profitable. Based on your YTD average monthly costs and your current COGS rate (21.8% of revenue goes to materials/labor).
Where is my money going?
Your top expenses ranked by size. In 2025, software ($17K), legal/professional ($12K), and overhead contract labor ($13K) were the biggest non-COGS costs. Are they trending the same way?
Am I growing?
2025 total revenue was $313,546. 2026 target is $350,000 ($29,167/month). The bars show 2025 monthly revenue -- notice how lumpy it was. The goal is to smooth that out.
What can I afford to invest?
Based on your current margins, here's roughly what the business can sustain in new costs. This isn't a guarantee -- it's a guide. Talk to Maurice before committing to anything big.
