Meet the lifeline
Before we begin

Every company runs on cash. Know who looks after it and how you help them.

Part 1

The Cashflow Team

The Cashflow Team is ORIGIN's lifeline. It keeps the company funded and the numbers honest. Its colour is pink. We never call it Finance.

Its function is Accounting: it issues invoices, the bills we send to clients, pays suppliers and the team, and keeps the books.

How it works with the rest of us

WithHow
PMOWhen a stage of the work is delivered and accepted by the client, PMO confirms it. The invoice is issued only after that. Act 06 shows the full chain.
ManagementIt gives a clear view of where the company stands, so decisions are made on facts.
A very late paymentIt steps in to take the matter to a more senior level. We call that an escalation.
YouIt pays back your approved expenses and pays you on time.
Part 2

What it needs from you

AccuracyA timesheet, a receipt or a date that is wrong becomes a wrong number in a report.
SpeedDelivered work that nobody reported is money ORIGIN earned and cannot yet invoice.
DiscretionAmounts on invoices and payments are never written in a chat or in Asana, the tool where we manage our tasks.
Two fixed days each month

Money leaves ORIGIN on two fixed days each month, the fifth and the twenty fifth. If you are expecting a payment, that is when it moves.

You finish a piece of work on Tuesday, and the client approves it on Wednesday. When do you tell your Team Lead?

That one message is how work becomes income.

Remember

The Cashflow Team keeps ORIGIN funded. We help it by being accurate, fast and discreet.
