Getting the forecast right for a window cleaning business

Put route billing in the week it is collected.
Use last year's same weeks for residential jobs, then trim for weather.
Add equipment purchases in the weeks you pay for them.

An example

In late November residential jobs stop and storefront routes continue at a lower level. Van payments and insurance stay the same. A forecast built in October shows how much fall cash has to last into March.

What to watch

Weather days lost against last year
Commercial accounts past 45 days
