JGC Hub
What you see as a client.

This month, against your plan.
The first screen you see. One sentence on how the month is going, revenue and profit against the plan we built together, free cash, and the cash outlook for the next thirteen weeks.
The plan is the yardstick. As each month closes, its actuals replace the plan, so you always see where the year is landing.

Illustrative example, not a client's figures
Operating profit is $2,100 below plan because overhead is higher. Forecast cash stays above the take-out line for the next 13 weeks.
Cash, next 13 weeks
Low $169,000 on Dec 6, $19,000 above the take-out line
- Take‑out $150k
- Protected $120k
- Usual pace $194k
Cash with a job.
We agree how much cash stays in the business. Everything above that line is free cash, and owner pay becomes a decision instead of whatever is left.
The take-out line
Take-out line $150,000
- Protected cash
- Months of overhead and owner pay, and usually the next tax payment. Cash shouldn't go below it.
- Safety stock
- Extra for uneven months, sized from your own slowest stretches, plus money set aside for known costs.
Free cash
| Cash in the bank | $200,000 |
| Customers owe you, 30 days or less | +$20,000 |
| You owe, due in 30 days | −$15,000 |
| Distributions approved, not yet paid | −$5,000 |
| Take-out line | −$150,000 |
| Free cash | $50,000 |
Free cash is not automatically a distribution. Each quarter, your distribution policy, that period's earnings, and the cash forecast decide what you can take.
Illustrative figures.
What the business is worth, and what moves it.
For exit planning, JGC Hub estimates company value each month from your books: earnings adjusted the way a buyer would see them, multiplied by a range drawn from sales of similar businesses, less debt, plus cash beyond what the business needs.
It is an estimate, not an appraisal. Its job is to show which parts of the business a buyer pays more for and how the work we plan changes the estimate over time.
What buyers look at
- Owner independence
- Repeat and recurring revenue
- Customer concentration
- Growth
- Margin against the industry
- Earnings consistency
- Clean books
- Documented processes
- Management depth
We review these alongside the financials to identify the work to focus on.
Meetings and follow-up
Book or move a meeting yourself. What we decide and who does what next are written down with the meeting and stay open until they're done.
Monthly and quarterly reports
How the business is doing, budget against actual, cash and the safety net, owner pay, and value, published to your reports page as a package.
Books you can trust
We map your QuickBooks accounts into categories an owner can act on. Anything stale or incomplete is labeled, not rolled into a confident-looking chart.
You get a login, not a PDF.
- Read-only by design
- We connect to QuickBooks read-only. Nothing is ever written back to your accounting file, and you can disconnect at any time.
- Your own login
- You and anyone you invite see the same numbers we do, any day of the month.
- Included with the engagement
- There is no separate software fee and no software-only plan.
- Your data stays yours
- Your books and history stay in QuickBooks whether or not we work together.
See it with your own numbers.
Once you connect QuickBooks, we map your books and build your plan in the first weeks of an engagement.
