Step 7 of 8

CEO Weekly Profit Check

Three numbers, five minutes, one action. Enter what came in, what went out, and whether payroll ran — get a plain read on your week, the one flag that matters, and the single action to take before your next check. The business owners who stay ahead of their numbers aren't smarter — they just look more often.

This week's three numbers

Any label you'll recognize later — dates, a week number, whatever your calendar uses.

Money that actually landed in the account — not invoices sent, not jobs booked.

Everything that left the account — payroll, materials, subscriptions, the lot.

Payroll weeks always read compressed — we'll use your two-week average so one payroll run doesn't look like a crisis.

Context (optional — but it sharpens the read)

A ballpark is fine — it tells us whether this week was normal or an outlier.

If payroll ran, the two weeks together are the honest number — one week alone will mislead you.

Same window as last week's revenue, so the average compares like with like.

One-time costs and early payments change the read — name them so we don't flag the wrong thing.

Set up the habit

Same day, every week — consistency beats precision here.

Wherever it's fastest. This check should take five minutes, not thirty.

If you have one, we'll measure the week against it. If not, your report will suggest one.
