Description

Your bookkeeping tells you what happened. But what should you do next?

Revenue comes in—but some of it needs to be reserved for taxes. Some needs to cover operating expenses. You need enough for the next payroll. You need to pay yourself. Future business expenses need to be funded. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, you’d like to actually make a profit.

The Business Financial Power Hour is a Google Sheets business finance system designed to help you regularly sit down and manage the money inside your business.

It doesn’t replace your bookkeeping or accounting software. Instead, it helps you answer the practical questions that come next:

What came in? Where does it need to go? What needs to be paid? What should we be preparing for? And what needs my attention next?

What’s Included

Your Business Financial Power Hour includes six connected sections:

Business Overview + Financial Power Hour Checklist
Start your Financial Power Hour with a high-level view of your business finances. Review revenue and allocations, owner pay and payroll, account balances, and the items that currently need your attention.

Revenue & Distributions
Set target percentages for Profit, Taxes, Owner’s Compensation, Operating Expenses, Payroll, Materials, and your own custom categories. When revenue comes in, calculate how much should be allocated to each priority and track those distributions over time.

Owner Pay & Payroll
Keep owner compensation, employee payroll, employer payroll taxes, contractor payments, and owner/investor distributions organized in their respective sections. Look ahead to your next payroll and see how much cash still needs to be reserved.

Business Expenses
Keep predictable monthly, quarterly, semiannual, and annual business expenses in one place. Monthly set-asides help you understand what those expenses really cost your business each month—even when the bill isn’t currently due.

Business Reserves & Sinking Funds
Prepare for future business needs before they become financial emergencies. Build reserves for equipment, software renewals, conferences, future launches, professional services, inventory, and other expenses specific to your business.

Business Debt
Track starting balances, current debt, payments, interest, and payoff progress while creating a plan for reducing business debt over time.

More Than a Business Expense Tracker

The Business Financial Power Hour isn’t designed to replace your bookkeeping software, accountant, payroll provider, or tax professional.

And it isn’t meant to track every individual transaction your business makes.

It’s designed to help you manage your business money intentionally.

Set aside regular time—weekly, biweekly, monthly, or at whatever rhythm makes sense for your business—to open your Financial Power Hour and:

Record → Allocate → Pay → Fund → Review

Instead of simply looking backward at what your business spent, you can look forward and decide what the money currently in your business needs to accomplish.

Know What Needs Your Attention

The connected Business Overview brings the most important pieces of your Financial Power Hour together.

See your revenue and allocations, review what you’ve actually paid toward owner compensation and payroll, update your account balances, and identify upcoming financial responsibilities.

The goal isn’t to give you more numbers to track.

It’s to help you know what you need to do next.

This May Be For You If…

You make money in your business but aren’t always sure how much is actually available to spend.

You want a consistent system for setting aside money for taxes, payroll, expenses, profit, and owner compensation.

You need to look ahead to payroll instead of realizing at the last minute how much cash you need.

You want to prepare for irregular or future business expenses before they arrive.

You’re paying down business debt and want to see your progress.

You have bookkeeping software but still need a practical system for deciding what to do with your business’s money.

Or you simply want one place to see what needs your financial attention next.

Give your business money a job.

Your bookkeeping can tell you what happened.

Your Business Financial Power Hour helps you sit down, look at the money your business has today, and intentionally decide what happens next.

Because managing your business finances isn’t just about keeping good records.

It’s about regularly making good decisions with the resources your business has.

Make your plan. Then work your plan.
