Have you ever needed to make an unexpected purchase and suddenly discovered there’s not enough cash to pay for everything? Being short on cash can harm businesses. Even if the business is making a great overall annual profit, that doesn’t mean there won’t be cash-flow problems in the short term. That’s why short-term cash monitoring is so important.

When a business monitors short-term cash flows, it’s easier to plan and track finances. A cash-forecasting model, such as a 13-week cash flow, produces a better understanding of the amount of cash coming in and going out of a business. This is useful when you need to make short-term purchasing or budgeting decisions, and can help a business avoid a cash-flow crisis.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Describe the principles behind short-term cash modeling
• Recognize the benefits of 13-week cash flows
• Explain how to create a 13-week cash-flow model
