Payables: Stop December Surprises
Tip 1: Review all vendor balances
Knowing what you owe prevents panic. Reviewing balances allows you to plan which invoices to pay first. This protects cash and relationships.
Tip 2: Plan cash needs for the next two weeks
December is one of the tightest cash months of the year. Mapping out what’s coming helps you avoid shortfalls. Preparation beats reaction.
Tip 3: Freeze non-essential spending
Small purchases add up quickly this time of year. Tightening spending early protects cash for the critical payments. This is discipline that pays off.
