Reviewing Projected Cash Flow

Review this company’s cash flow by analyzing (sales and revenue forecasts), (expense forecasts), (timing of cash flows), (A/R and A/P), (cash reserves or loans).

What This Prompt Does

  • Analyzes forecasted sales and revenue alongside expected expenses to generate a clear picture of future cash flow.

  • Evaluates timing mismatches between cash inflows (from sales or receivables) and outflows (such as payroll, rent, or vendor payments).

  • Assesses current cash reserves, loans, and financial obligations to identify potential shortfalls or surpluses.

  • Highlights periods of risk or opportunity, offering suggestions to smooth cash flow and maintain business stability.

Tips

  • Provide a detailed sales and revenue forecast, broken down monthly or quarterly, including assumptions (e.g., customer growth, seasonal trends).

  • Include expense forecasts that account for both fixed and variable costs, such as salaries, marketing, subscriptions, inventory, and operational overhead.

  • Note the timing of cash flows, especially if income is delayed due to net payment terms (e.g., Net 30, Net 60) or subscription revenue schedules.

  • Supply data on accounts receivable (A/R) and accounts payable (A/P) to help understand working capital and short-term liquidity risks.

  • Mention cash reserves or access to loans/credit, so the model can calculate cash runway or fallback strategies in case of negative cash flow.
