We are opening a new office in a semi-rural town. We are excited to help the families and kids there, but dont know how long it will take for the office to ramp up (see enough patients). Our budget for the office was $100,000, composed of $50,000 furniture and equipment, $30,000 supplies, and $20,000 extra cash to market and get started. We are now up and running and 2 months in. We have collected the below fees and have the below invoices to date.

• We are a cash basis accounting company so start there.
