Lock-up and cash wall
A wall panel and a desk sheet that show WIP, debtors and the 13-week cash view as one conversation, not three reports.
Who it is for
Practices where cash is discussed in one meeting, billing in another, and lock-up only when the bank asks.
What you leave with
One wall-sized panel for the accounts room or partner corridor, plus an A3 desk sheet the FD can annotate in the weekly cash huddle.
Scope
Definition of lock-up as the practice actually measures it, mapping of WIP and debtors, 13-week cash columns, and production of print files at the agreed sizes.
Included
- Agreement of lock-up formula in writing before drawing begins
- Wall panel (up to A1) and A3 huddle sheet
- Print specification for your local printer
Not included
- Credit control calling
- Bank mandate changes
Who draws it
Panel Anchorbase studio.
How the work proceeds
- Formula. Lock-up is defined in a short note everyone signs.
- Columns. WIP, debtors, creditors, and cash weeks aligned.
- Print. Files and a paper proof before you order the large print.
Time
Three weeks after figures are available.
Where the work happens
Files by email; optional paper proof by post to the practice.
What to prepare
WIP listing, aged debtors, current cash book or bank, and the last 13-week forecast if you keep one.
Limits we will not blur
If WIP is not time-recorded, the wall will say so rather than guess days.
Price basis
From £3,100 plus VAT, excluding the printer’s large-format fee.
