Cash Flow and Grow - SquareDash September 2024 Newsletter
Hi everyone,
It’s Matt here, once again. As we head away from the intense summer months and into the fall season, I hope you’re doing well and ready for the time of year when it is critical to diligently chase checks to avoid a future cash flow deficit. Trust me, winter will arrive sooner than you expect!
This is the perfect time to reassess your operations strategies, batten down the hatches, and ensure you’re all set up for success come fall and winter. That includes making sure you have the claim funding you need and the billing services in place that will keep your operations running smoothly.
When you partner with SquareDash, we help you navigate these busy times with ease. Our goal is to support you in streamlining operations and maintaining a healthy cash flow, allowing you to focus on what you do best—providing top-notch service to your customers.
Let’s work together to make this a successful and profitable season, and make this September one to remember!

Chasing Checks Season To-Do List
September is all about setting yourself up for financial success. With some focus on some key areas, you can minimize the time taken chasing down checks. Here are some critical action items to make a priority:
- Evaluate Vendor Relationships and Key Partnerships: This is the perfect time to review your existing vendor relationships and partnerships. Are they providing the value you need? Are there opportunities to re-negotiate terms or find more efficient partners?
- Take a Deep Dive on Financial Statements: Take a comprehensive look at your financial statements. Understanding your financial health is the first step in making informed decisions that will benefit your business in the long run. Look for trends, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies to address any potential issues.
- Submit Updated Financials for SquareDash Credit Limit Review: Understanding your credit limits and knowing what is available for use is essential for maintaining liquidity. This proactive step can help you avoid cash flow crunches and keep your business running smoothly.
- Push to Collect Outstanding Balances: Now is the time to make a concerted effort to collect any outstanding invoices from property owners. If you’re struggling, try offering incentives for early payments or implementing late fees to encourage timely payments. Requesting payment advances on open jobs is a good idea, too.
If you’re interested in a deeper dive on how to set yourself up for success come fall and winter, schedule a meeting with Heath Gover, our Head of Business Development.
Heath has extensive experience giving personalized advice on implementing these strategies and can help your business out with some valuable insights.

The Importance of Cash Flow Management in Chasing Checks Season
As we head into the cold months, cash flow is as critical as ever. Now is when many roofing contractors experience delays in payments, which can strain finances. Making sure that you have a robust cash flow strategy in place can make all the difference in maintaining business stability and growth during this time—and SquareDash can help.
Our platform helps you get ACV money upfront and the depreciation when the job is complete, reducing the wait time for insurance checks. This can provide a significant boost to your cash flow, allowing you to cruise through to winter worry-free! Ok, maybe not completely worry-free…
