The owner sees cash week by week for the next thirteen weeks: what comes in, what goes out, the lowest point and every week below the floor they set, with each assumption written on the page. The forecast informs the decision; the owner makes it, and nothing is paid or moved.
The finance lead takes one page into each week’s management meeting: what came in, where every receivable stands, which exceptions are open and who owns them, and the decisions management must make. Every figure ties to the aging report.
