Emergency Fund Sprint

Goldenleaf partnered with Harbor & Pine Studio to build an emergency fund and insurance roadmap so the partners could focus on client work without worry.

We audited every account, consolidated payments, and mapped monthly transfers that respected their $45,000 operating budget while keeping payroll steady.

Using the Goldenleaf Emergency Fund framework we modeled reserve targets and surfaced the exact deposits required each Friday to stay on track.

Within eight weeks the studio moved from reactive bookkeeping to a calm cadence with reconciled accounts, quarterly coverage reviews, and a living plan that adapts as revenue shifts.

How the plan came together

Every deliverable tied back to clarity, care, and growth—the Goldenleaf pillars—so the owners know what to do today while keeping the long-term roadmap visible.
