The better way to manage your cash flow

[Erik_V]

What’s a cash flow report?
One of the most valuable reports you can prepare in Essentials, the cash flow report shows the movement of cash flowing in and out of your business over a period of time.

Why is that so important? Think of it as a financial health check-up for your business, answering some vital questions, including “Where did my money come from?” and “Where was my money spent?”

But it’s not all about past performance. You’ll also spot trends in your cash flow that you can focus on to improve your business’s profitability and budget for future financial periods.

Diving into the report
Found with your other Business reports, the cash flow report has the same great display and customisation options as the profit & loss report.

The cash flow report is found in the list of Business reports.

Choose from a list of standard financial periods (last month, last financial quarter, etc.), or enter your own custom date range.

Choose from a number of preset periods, or create your own custom date range.

Customise the headers that appear in the report by choosing the right level of detail.

 Choose which account header level you want to display.

Compare your financial period to last year’s performance, or any of your budgets.
