a plain-English summary.

[PASTE YOUR P&L DATA]

Tell me:
1. What the numbers say about business health
2. The biggest positive trend and what is driving it
3. The biggest concern and what might be causing it
4. How gross margin compares to typical [industry] margins
5. Three specific questions one should ask my accountant
   based on these numbers

Plain English. No accounting jargon. Specific, not vague.

Help me build a simple cash flow projection.

Monthly revenue (typical): $[amount]
Monthly revenue (slow months): $[amount, which months]
Monthly fixed costs: [list: rent, utilities, payroll, etc.]
Variable costs (% of revenue): [percentage]
Upcoming large expenses: [list with amounts and dates]
Current cash balance: $[amount]
Payment terms from customers: [immediate / net 30 / etc.]

Create a 6-month cash flow projection and identify:
- Which months are likely to be tight
- Minimum cash balance one should maintain
- One recommendation to improve cash flow timing

Help me analyze my pricing for [product/service].

Current price: $[amount]
Unit cost (materials + labor): $[amount]
Monthly volume: [units or customers]
Competitor pricing range: $[low] to $[high]
Target monthly profit: $[amount]

Analyze:
1. Current gross margin and how it compares to healthy
   margins for this type of business
2. Break-even volume at current vs. higher prices
3. Revenue impact of a 10%, 15%, and 20% price increase
4. Whether a price increase is likely to cost more
   customers than the revenue gain is worth
