Cash Flow Forecaster

A managed 13-week cash flow workflow that ties every inflow and outflow to live revenue and cost forecasts - refreshed weekly, variance-tracked against the prior plan, and modeled across multiple scenarios.

What the managed workflow does

Pulls live cash data

Bank feeds, AR aging, AP schedule, and payroll calendar sync every business day - no manual spreadsheet upkeep.

Ties to revenue & cost forecasts

Each cash line is linked to its driver: subscription billings, pipeline close dates, hiring plan, vendor contracts, tax calendar.

Tracks variance weekly

Every Monday it compares last week's actuals to the prior forecast, flags categories drifting > 5%, and attributes the variance to a specific driver.

Runs side-by-side scenarios

Base / tight / downside models share assumptions. Change one input (hiring freeze, deal slip) and all three update consistently.

Outflow categories

Inflows are modeled from

  • Subscription revenue. Billing system MRR schedule + contracted ramp + known churn dates.

  • Services & implementation. SOW milestones with invoice timing; weighted by historical slip.

  • AR collections. Open AR aged by customer with DSO-based probability of collection.

  • One-time events. Financing, refunds, asset sales - entered once, tied to a date.

Outflows are modeled from

  • Payroll. Current headcount + hiring plan + benefits load, aligned to pay dates.

  • Vendor / SaaS. Contract renewals and usage-based fees read from AP + vendor portals.

  • Infrastructure. Cloud spend projected from trailing usage × growth assumption.

  • G&A and taxes. Rent, insurance, quarterly estimated taxes, and ad-hoc expenses on calendar.
