Designing a cashflow forecast that decision makers trust

Start with reliable inputs

Use actual bank data and open sales or purchase orders as the baseline. Guesswork erodes trust quickly.

Segment inflows and outflows so you can flex scenarios for sales dips, hiring, or capital spend.

Review and act weekly

Hold a 20 minute cash review every Monday. Compare forecast to actual and note deltas.

Assign actions for receipts, payments, or funding conversations. Capture lessons so the model improves.

Key takeaways

• Source forecast inputs from real systems, not manual spreadsheets.
• Refresh the model weekly and reconcile to actual bank movements.
• Document follow up tasks so insights become actions.
