Cash flow refers to the actual movement of money in and out of your business. Profit, on the other hand, is what remains after expenses are deducted from revenue. A business can be profitable but still run into cash flow problems if payments are delayed or mismanaged.
We use historical data, current financial trends, and predictive analytics to project cash inflows and outflows. This involves reviewing your receivables, payables, and fixed costs while accounting for variables like seasonal sales.
We integrate tools like QuickBooks, Xero, and KashFlow for seamless monitoring, automated reporting, and improved financial control.
Our approach includes structured follow-ups, early payment incentives, and, when necessary, outsourcing collections to ensure timely payments without straining client relationships.
We recommend weekly reviews for active businesses and monthly evaluations for stable operations. Frequent monitoring helps catch issues before they escalate.
