AI CFO Monthly Management Report
Al Noor Contracting Co. (Sample)
Reporting period: July 2026 · as of 15 Jul 2026 · Prepared by AI Virtual CFO OS
Executive Summary
- The company is trading profitably on paper but faces a near-term liquidity squeeze: 4 critical findings require action this week, with 5 more under watch.
- Cash of SAR 754K covers day-to-day operations, but the 13-week plan shows a cash gap of SAR 245K opening in week 5 (w/c 12 Aug).
- The gap is closable without external funding: recovering part of Gulf Horizon's SAR 577K deep-overdue balance and deferring non-critical suppliers by one week clears every negative week. Test the timing in the forecast simulator before committing.
- Collections are the root cause of cash pressure: DSO of 115 days, SAR 3.42M overdue, and 62% of it concentrated in two customers.
- SAR 310K of receivables is disputed and ageing — this needs commercial resolution at a meeting, not another reminder cycle.
- Margin leakage needs a commercial review: Warehouse Retrofit — Industrial City is loss-making (-6.9%); Dammam Branch margin trails the portfolio at 4.1%.
- Payables are manageable if sequenced: pay critical suppliers on time, give dated commitments to the rest, and hold deferral in reserve as temporary relief.
- 1.Create SAR 245K of headroom before 12 Aug: pull forward the two largest collectible invoices, agree short extensions on deferrable payables, and hold non-essential spending until the week clears. (CFO · this week)
- 2.Reset the collections rhythm: named owner per overdue account, weekly target list every Monday, and invoice-on-completion discipline so ageing starts as early as possible. (Finance · this week)
- 3.Book a resolution meeting with Desert Rose Real Estate this week with the contract and delivery records on the table. (CFO + Commercial · this week)

The nine numbers that matter this month
AI CFO Findings
4 critical · 5 attention · 0 healthy — generated by the deterministic rule engine
The business is profitable on paper but illiquid in that week: obligations land before collections. This is a timing problem today — it becomes a survival problem if a single large receipt slips.
Management action (CFO): Create SAR 245K of headroom before 12 Aug: pull forward the two largest collectible invoices, agree short extensions on deferrable payables, and hold non-essential spending until the week clears. Open the 13-week forecast simulator to test collection and payment timing before committing to a plan.
First negative week: W5 · 12 Aug · Lowest cash point: -SAR 245K · Funding gap: SAR 245K · Cash today: SAR 754K
At this pace the company is financing its customers for a full quarter: every riyal of growth locks up more working capital instead of producing cash.
Management action (Finance): Reset the collections rhythm: named owner per overdue account, weekly target list every Monday, and invoice-on-completion discipline so ageing starts as early as possible.
DSO: 115 days · Overdue AR: SAR 3.42M · Open AR: SAR 5.58M
A dispute is not a slow payment — it does not resolve with reminders, and every month unresolved weakens your negotiating position and your evidence.
Management action (CFO + Commercial): Book a resolution meeting with Desert Rose Real Estate this week with the contract and delivery records on the table. Set a settle-or-escalate deadline; do not send another reminder email.
Disputed total: SAR 310K · Share of open AR: 5.6% · Oldest dispute: 125d past due · Largest: Desert Rose Real Estate · SAR 310K
Every month this project runs, it consumes margin earned elsewhere. Loss-making projects rarely fix themselves — they are fixed by a pricing decision, a scope decision, or a stop decision.
Management action (CEO + Project Manager): Hold a project review this week: verify cost bookings are real, reprice open variation orders, and set a stop-loss threshold with the CEO — the date and number at which the project is restructured or closed out.
Revenue: SAR 3.37M · Direct cost: SAR 3.60M · Gross margin: -SAR 234K (-6.9%) · Loss-making projects: 1
Collections risk is concentrated: one payment decision by one customer moves your whole cash position. Treat these two as strategic accounts, not entries on an ageing report.
Management action (CEO + Finance): Escalate both accounts to owner level this week — a direct call, not a statement email. Agree dated payment plans and stop new credit exposure until they are honoured.
Top-2 overdue: SAR 2.10M · Share of overdue: 62% · Oldest item: 207d
If a critical supplier stops, projects stop — and the cost of restarting dwarfs the payment itself. In a squeeze, these payments are made first and everything else is sequenced around them.
Management action (Finance): Ring-fence SAR 96K for the critical payments now, then apply the payment-priority order to everything else: deferrables wait, normal suppliers get dated commitments.
Critical due ≤7d: SAR 96K · Suppliers: Petro Fuel Services · Cash available: SAR 754K
The cost base is not flexing with activity. When workload falls faster than cost, margin erodes silently even while every project looks busy.
Management action (CFO): Review material cost line by line against the active project load: identify what should have scaled down and set a monthly cap until the ratio recovers.
Revenue growth (QoQ): -4.3% · Material cost growth: -2.0% · Gap: 2.3%
Same company, same overheads, very different earning power. Branch gaps this wide usually trace to contract pricing or cost discipline — not to the market.
Management action (CEO + Branch Manager): Compare Dammam Branch's largest contracts against the best branch on pricing, manpower ratios and rework. Set a branch margin target and review it monthly with the branch manager.
Dammam Branch GM: 4.1% · Portfolio GM: 8.5% · Margin left on table: SAR 242K
Weak controls do not show up in the P&L — they show up later, as leakage that already happened. Every other number in this review is only as reliable as these disciplines.
Management action (CFO): Book a formal control review with the finance team. Start with the quick wins on the checklist — most are habits, not systems.
Control health: 41% · Receivables & Collections: 0% · Cash & Treasury: 25%

| W13 | 7 Oct | — | SAR 48K | -SAR 48K | SAR 460K |
- Create SAR 245K of headroom before week 5: agree dated commitments with your two largest debtors and hold all non-essential spending until the gap clears.
- The single largest lever is an owner-level call to Gulf Horizon: SAR 577K of overdue cash sits outside this plan. Recovering even a quarter of it changes the picture.
- Sequence supplier payments: pay critical suppliers on time, give non-critical suppliers dated commitments one to two weeks later. Communicated early, this costs goodwill — not supply.
Receivables Review
Collection concentration, disputes and speed
Open receivables stand at SAR 5.58M, of which SAR 3.42M is overdue. Collection concentration is the core risk: 62% of overdue sits with two customers. DSO is 115 days.
| Customer | Overdue | Share | Oldest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gulf Horizon Development | SAR 1.25M | 36% | 207d |
| Desert Rose Real EstateDisputed | SAR 857K | 25% | 125d |
| Oasis Facilities Group | SAR 619K | 18% | 75d |
| Zenith Auto Fleet | SAR 189K | 6% | 32d |
| Marjan Marine Services | SAR 186K | 5% | 37d |
Disputed: Desert Rose Real Estate SI-1033 (SAR 310K, 125d past due) — commercial resolution required.
- • Reset the collections rhythm: named owner per overdue account, weekly target list every Monday, and invoice-on-completion discipline so ageing starts as early as possible.
- • Book a resolution meeting with Desert Rose Real Estate this week with the contract and delivery records on the table. Set a settle-or-escalate deadline; do not send another reminder email.
- • Escalate both accounts to owner level this week — a direct call, not a statement email. Agree dated payment plans and stop new credit exposure until they are honoured.
Projects & Margin Review
Where the margin is made — and where it leaks
| Project | Revenue | Gross margin | GM % | Cash conv. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warehouse Retrofit — Industrial CityRiyadh Branch | SAR 3.37M | -SAR 234K | -6.9% | 66% |
| FM Contract — Eastern DistrictDammam Branch | SAR 5.59M | SAR 231K | 4.1% | 81% |
| Business Park Fit-Out — Phase 2Riyadh Branch | SAR 8.74M | SAR 1.50M | 17.2% | 78% |
Branch view: Riyadh Branch 10.5% GM on SAR 12.11M · Dammam Branch 4.1% GM on SAR 5.59M. Cost pressure: manpower cost -3.0%, material cost -2.0%, subcontract cost -2.3% against revenue -4.3% quarter-over-quarter.
- • Hold a project review this week: verify cost bookings are real, reprice open variation orders, and set a stop-loss threshold with the CEO — the date and number at which the project is restructured or closed out.
- • Review material cost line by line against the active project load: identify what should have scaled down and set a monthly cap until the ratio recovers.
- • Compare Dammam Branch's largest contracts against the best branch on pricing, manpower ratios and rework. Set a branch margin target and review it monthly with the branch manager.
Payables & Supplier Risk
Supplier pressure and payment discipline through the squeeze
Open payables stand at SAR 3.44M (SAR 361K due this week, SAR 7,200 already overdue). Critical supplier exposure within 7 days: Petro Fuel Services (SAR 96K) — these payments are protected first.
| # | Supplier | Priority | Due | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Petro Fuel Services | critical | 16 Jul | SAR 96K |
| 2 | Al Amal Manpower Services | critical | 28 Jul | SAR 664K |
| 3 | Al Amal Manpower Services | critical | 14 Aug | SAR 260K |
| 4 | Al Amal Manpower Services | critical | 27 Aug | SAR 308K |
| 5 | Atlas Scaffolding | normal | 13 Jul | SAR 7,200 |
| 6 | Safwa Electrical Trading | normal | 18 Jul | SAR 145K |
- • Ring-fence SAR 96K for the critical payments now, then apply the payment-priority order to everything else: deferrables wait, normal suppliers get dated commitments.
- • Deferral of non-critical suppliers remains available as temporary relief — it moves obligations, it does not remove them.
