Cash Flow Forecasting

Because you can’t afford to guess. Start planning with clarity—so you know what’s coming and how to prepare for it.

In the trades, timing is everything—whether it’s showing up to the job site or making payroll on Friday. But when you’re constantly chasing checks, waiting on invoices, or covering upfront costs out of pocket, staying ahead of your cash flow feels like a never-ending guessing game.

That uncertainty? It’s exhausting.

At Billy Barton-Accountant LLC, we help take the pressure off your shoulders with cash flow forecasting that actually works for how contractors operate. We don’t just crunch numbers—we give you a clear, forward-looking view of where your business is headed financially, so you can stop reacting and start planning.

Want to know if you can afford to hire another crew? Invest in new equipment? Take on that big job without stretching too thin?

You can—if you know your cash flow.
