What core financial metrics does it help me monitor?

The skill focuses on Gross and Net Margins, Owner's Pay Ratio, Tax Reserve Ratios, and Cash Runway, providing a 'Health Check' dashboard for each.

Can it manage financial tracking for multiple businesses?

Yes, it includes a multi-business comparison template that tracks revenue, COGS, and margins for each project individually while maintaining a bird's-eye view of your total portfolio.

How does this skill help with business taxes?

It provides a US-focused framework to calculate quarterly estimated tax reserves (typically 25-35% of profit) and outlines the specific IRS payment deadlines.

Does this skill replace the need for a professional accountant?

No. While it provides operational systems and clarity, it explicitly recommends hiring a CPA or bookkeeper once revenue exceeds specific thresholds or business complexity increases.
