The Monday page

What the file tells you every week

The job that loses money never announces itself — it just costs a little more each week until the final invoice. This sheet forecasts the margin on every live job, shows the work you have done but not billed, and puts the overdue invoices in front of you every Monday.

01 · verdictJobs — which job is over budget or at risk, realised margin on done jobs

02 · verdictBilling — work done but not invoiced, the biggest unbilled job

03 · verdictCash — unpaid and overdue invoices, collected last week

Sheets in the workbook

✓Monday · the ritual page

✓Jobs · quote, cost to finish, cost to date, invoiced, forecast margin, verdict

✓Costs · every receipt, timesheet and sub invoice against a job

✓Invoices · every invoice and stage payment, paid?, paid on
