When to use it.

Cash Flow Forecast is a twelve-month spreadsheet for studios, agencies and small businesses that want to see a tight month coming. Start with the cash in the bank, then type what you expect to come in from each income stream and go out on salaries, freelancers, rent, software and tax. Each month's closing balance carries into the next, and a buffer check flags any month that ends tight or below the minimum you want to keep. Tiles show the low point and when it falls, and a bar chart shows the year at a glance.

Made for

  • Freelancers who bill by the hour or day
  • Studio and agency owners
  • Consultants running their own practice
  • Small businesses without a finance team
