We break down why a painting business can look profitable on a P&L and still feel broke when payroll, materials, and taxes hit. We show the cash flow mechanics that stop you from floating jobs, tighten collections, and build real cash in the bank.
• profit and cash as two different systems with different timing
• how slow customer payments and fast expenses create negative cash flow
• the four common causes of tight cash in a painting company
• deposits and progress billing that keep cash coming in mid-job
• faster final collection through a simple, repeatable process
• using vendor terms and responsible credit card float to slow cash out
• aligning subcontractor payments and reviewing weekly versus bi-weekly payroll
• tracking cash weekly to avoid surprises and lead with visibility
