Why This Matters
Most businesses fail because they run out of cash, not because they're unprofitable
You're flying blind without knowing when cash will run low until it's too late
Unexpected cash shortages force you to make desperate decisions: delay payroll, skip vendor payments, or take expensive loans
You can't confidently invest in growth, hire staff, or make large purchases without knowing your future cash position
Seasonal businesses get caught off guard by slow periods, even when they know they're coming
You're making decisions based on profit numbers, but profit doesn't pay bills, cash does

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are cash flow forecasts?
Our forecasts are based on your historical cash flow patterns, current bookkeeping data, and your business projections. Accuracy improves as we gather more data and refine the model based on your actual results. We update forecasts regularly to reflect changes in your business.
How far ahead can you forecast?
We typically provide 3, 6, and 12-month cash flow forecasts. The shorter-term forecasts (3 months) are usually more accurate, while longer-term forecasts help with strategic planning. We can adjust the timeframe based on your needs.
What if my business has seasonal fluctuations?
Seasonal businesses benefit greatly from cash flow forecasting. We'll incorporate your seasonal patterns into the forecasts, helping you plan for slow periods and manage cash during peak seasons. This is especially valuable for businesses with significant revenue variations throughout the year.
Can you help if I'm facing a cash flow crisis?
Yes, we can help identify immediate cash flow issues and provide recommendations to improve your cash position. We'll work with you to find ways to accelerate cash inflows, manage outflows, and create a plan to get back on track.
How often will I receive cash flow updates?
We typically provide monthly cash flow reports and updated forecasts. For businesses with tighter cash management needs, we can provide weekly updates. The frequency depends on your business needs and cash flow volatility.
Is this included in monthly bookkeeping?
No, cash flow tracking and forecasting is a premium add-on service. While monthly bookkeeping gives you historical financial statements, cash flow forecasting looks forward to help you plan and avoid problems before they happen. This proactive approach requires specialized analysis and is priced separately.
Why do I need this if I already have monthly bookkeeping?
Monthly bookkeeping tells you what happened. Cash flow forecasting tells you what will happen. Historical financial statements are essential, but they don't help you plan for next month's payroll when you're short on cash. Forecasting gives you the forward-looking visibility you need to make smart decisions and avoid cash flow crises.
