Meet the Daily Flash: your money, first thing

Your monthly report is the deep read — the one that steps back and tells you what the quarter means. But most days you don't have a month-shaped question. You have a today-shaped one: did money come in yesterday, what went out, and is there enough in the bank?Answering that shouldn't mean logging into QuickBooks and pulling three reports. So we built the Daily Flash — the first thing on your Wauveldashboard, a one-glance read of your business that's already waiting when you open the app.

It reads straight off your live books — no report to run, no AI to prompt, nothing to spend. Here's what's in it.

The four numbers that matter today

Daily Flash · today

Money in

$4,200

collected today

Money out

$1,850

paid out today

Net today

+$2,350

in minus out

Built from your live QuickBooks data the moment you land on the dashboard — money in, money out, the net, and cash on hand with its move since yesterday.

Three flows and a balance. Money in and money out are exactly what they sound like; net today is the day in one number; and cash on handshows your balance with its change since yesterday, so you see the direction, not just the level. It's the same instinct as the cash flow statement, compressed to the span of a single day.

A sales log that builds itself

Under the flows sits a running sales todayfigure with a sparkline that fills in a little more every day you check in — no spreadsheet to keep, no numbers to enter. Set a daily sales target and the Flash tells you, in a glance, whether today cleared it or fell short. It's the lightest possible version of the thing every operator secretly wants: a pulse on whether the business is having a good day, before the day is over.

One tap to chase what's owed

When something's overdue, the Flash doesn't just flag it — it does the awkward part for you. It surfaces the total past-due receivables and hands you a ready-to-send, friendly reminder you can copy and paste straight to the customer. Collecting the cash you've already earned is the fastest money in the building, and the Flash turns "I should chase that" into a single tap. It's the same watchdog instinct behind Alerts and Watch-outs, pointed at the one thing worth doing this morning.

Or have it come to you

The Flash lives on your dashboard, but you don't have to go get it. Schedule a digest and the same numbers-only read arrives on your terms — daily, weekly, or monthly, by email or straight into Slack. Pick the sections you care about, or set it to stay quiet and only ping you when something crosses a threshold you set — an alert-only mode for people who'd rather hear from their finances only when it matters. No report generated, no credit spent; just the pulse, delivered.

The Daily Flash is on the dashboard for every connected account — no setup, no cost. Connect your books and it's there tomorrow morning, already counting. It's the small daily habit that makes the monthly report land better — because you've been watching the story build all along instead of meeting it cold at month-end.
