We have been thinking about this for the last couple of weeks. If you have been smiling at your profit report, then frowning at your bank account?
You’re not alone.

This month’s issue of The Fiskal Brief is live, and it tackles a pain point we see across nearly every fast-growing product business we work with:

Why profitable brands still feel broke.
Revenue is growing. Margins look good. But cash is disappearing, and nobody’s quite sure where it’s going.

Inside this issue:

✅ Why margin illusions happen (and how to spot them)
✅ What clean landed cost tracking in Cin7 actually looks like
✅ How to get your cash flow reporting to match your operational reality
✅ A webinar invite you don’t want to miss:
Cash Flow for Product Businesses – Oct 15 @ 12pm EDT

We wrote this for the founder who’s scaling fast but doesn’t trust the numbers.
For the team wrestling with half-baked ERP setups.
For the ops manager still triple-checking inventory and redoing forecasts in Excel.

If that’s you, start here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/congrats-growth-now-whered-money-go-fiskal-finance-zblff

If you’re prepping for Black Friday, definitely stay tuned for next month’s issue: we’ll show you how to bulletproof your Cin7 setup before the orders flood in.

When product businesses go under, it’s rarely from a lack of demand. It’s from poor financial visibility.
This is how we fix that.

Cash flow: why growing brands still feel broke Here’s the thing: product businesses rarely collapse because they run out of customers. They collapse because they run out of cash.

👍 New Training: Applying Customer Deposits in Cin7 Core

Managing deposits, prepayments and partial payments shouldn’t be a source of financial chaos. Yet for many product-based businesses, this is exactly where accounting errors creep in.

That’s why we created a step-by-step guide on how to correctly apply customer deposits to sales orders in Cin7 Core, and ensure everything reconciles cleanly with Xero or Intuit QuickBooks.

In this training, Ryan Behnken from Fiskal walks through:
- Creating and authorizing sales orders
- Recording deposits against the correct Prepayments Control Account
- Converting orders to invoices and applying deposits
- Reconciling final payments in Xero/QBO
- Keeping your ERP, sales, and accounting data fully aligned

If your business relies on deposits or prepayments, this workflow is essential for keeping your financial reporting accurate and stress-free.
