Cash Flow Planning weeks ahead, not after.

For businesses where timing matters. A rolling cash forecast shows what is coming, so you can plan payroll, purchases, and tax payments with room to spare.

overview

Profit and cash are not the same, and many good businesses feel squeezed because of timing. Our forecasting and cash flow planning maps expected receipts and payments forward, built from your actual receivables, payables, payroll schedule, debt payments, and estimated tax deadlines. We update it on a regular rhythm and compare it to what actually happened, so the forecast gets sharper over time. Because it rests on clean, current books, you can trust the starting balance. The result is an early view of tight periods and a clearer sense of when you can safely spend, hire, or invest.

questions

Common questions

How far ahead does the forecast look?

Most clients use a near-term weekly view paired with a longer monthly view. We set the horizon based on your business cycle and the decisions you face.

We are profitable. Why do we run short on cash?

Common causes include slow collections, inventory buildup, debt payments, owner draws, and tax payments that do not show up on the income statement. A cash forecast makes those timing gaps visible.
