New Practice Cash Map

Who it is for

People in the first year and a half on their own: a new clinic room, a tutoring practice, a stall, a small repair bench, or a studio whose first invoices are still irregular.

What you leave with

A six-month sketch you can revise yourself: what has actually come in, a floor for rent, fuel, and food, and a draw that does not assume every week will match the best one.

Included

• First sitting: what has actually been received, from passbook and memory
• Second sitting: a modest monthly draw and a floor for rent, fuel, and food
• Third sitting: a six-month sketch written so you can update it without us
• A one-page list of papers worth keeping from now on

Outside this engagement

• A full prior-year reconstruction if you have almost no records
• Ongoing quarterly sittings after the six weeks
• Advice on borrowing to equip the new practice

Who sits with you

Malai Srichai leads the three sittings. The pace is slower than a year-end review because the history is short and the habit is new.

How the hours proceed

1. We start from the months you have already traded, however few.
2. Two weeks later we set a draw you can actually pay yourself.
3. At the sixth week we write the sketch forward and stop, unless you later ask for a quarterly sitting or the annual plan.

What to bring

• Any invoices or notes of money received
• Rent, market-fee, or room-hire papers
• A honest list of what the household still expects from this new income

Limits

The map covers one new practice. It is a poor fit if you have traded for many years and the need is to untangle an old mix of papers; that is the opening review. We will say so at the first conversation.

The next step

Tell us when you began working on your own and request the first of the three sittings.

Fees are explained on the fees page. Payment is by bank transfer after a date is confirmed.
