Cash Flow & Forecasting
Profitable companies run out of money on a schedule the P&L never shows. Cash problems are timing problems — receivables landing after payroll, annual bills hitting in the same month, growth consuming working capital faster than margin replaces it.
This section covers the 13-week cash forecast, runway and burn math, and budget-versus-actual reporting that people actually read — the tools that turn cash from a monthly surprise into a managed number.
