    Cash Flow Forecasting

    90-Day Visibility

    Build 13-week cash models, run scenario analyses, and always know your runway. See problems 60-90 days before they hit.

    "Cash forecasting isn't about predicting the future perfectly. It's about seeing problems early enough to do something about them. 90 days notice makes most cash problems fixable."
    — Working Capital AI

    Most businesses discover cash problems when bills come due. By then, options are limited and decisions are desperate. The solution is simple but rarely practiced: look ahead.

    A 13-week cash flow forecast is the gold standard for cash visibility. Updated weekly, it shows you exactly when cash will get tight, what's driving the burn, and how different scenarios play out. It transforms cash management from reactive firefighting to proactive planning.

    In this topic, you'll learn to build rolling cash forecasts, run sensitivity analyses ("what if AR slows 15 days?"), and calculate your true runway. You'll never be surprised by cash again.
