What does this skill do?

The Skill Financial Control Panel for Freelancers provides a comprehensive financial management system for entrepreneurs who manage multiple projects, clients, and collaborators simultaneously. It creates a dashboard with tabs for active projects, monthly cash flow, profitability by project, and key metrics—all of which can be updated in just 15 minutes a week and tailored to your specific situation with variable income.

Project Profitability
Identify which customers or projects are truly profitable and which ones consume more resources than they generate.
Cash Flow Forecast
Forecast your cash flow on a week-by-week basis and avoid cash flow surprises when making payments to employees or suppliers.
Management of Outstanding Collections
Keep track of invoices issued, expected payment dates, and customers with overdue payments so you can take action before it becomes a problem.
Business Decisions
Evaluate whether to accept a new project, hire an assistant, or renegotiate terms based on actual data.

I need to forecast my cash flow for June: I have two monthly retainer fees and three one-time projects with payments in installments. In which weeks might I have a deficit?
🎯 Hiring Decision
Can I afford to hire an assistant if my Client B pays on time? Analyze my current profitability and projections for the next 3 months.
