There are steps you can take to avoid cash flow problems, and ultimately crisis. Creating a cash flow projection with a vCFO or controller can put you back in control. With the right guidance and tools, you can track and manage your cash flow in a way that alleviates the stress that comes with lack of control over your cash flow situation.
For the short-term view, we create a 4-8 week cash flow forecast and meet with a member of your internal team for regular meetings to discuss the inflows and outflows and related timing of these items.
Long-term cash flow management includes estimates of the end of quarter and end of year balances as well as establishing tax and operational reserves. These tools give you the power to develop a strategy that can help you scale your business.
In addition to the proactive approach above, we take a look at historical cash flow statements that will give you insight into where your money has gone. This allows us to help you uncover trends and potentially hidden costs that could be hindering your business growth.
In preparation for our cash flow meetings, we will perform weekly bank reconciliations as well as review the outstanding payables and receivables of your company. During our meeting we will also determine any action steps needed such as collections activities, pushing out timing of payments, line of credit or savings transfers, etc.
