What this does
Shows a 90-day cash flow forecast based on your outstanding invoices (money expected in) and unpaid bills (money expected out). The forecast calculates your expected weekly position so you can spot cash shortfalls before they happen. All figures are in GBP — non-GBP transactions are excluded.
When to use it
Check this forecast regularly to see whether you will have enough cash to cover upcoming bills, or to decide whether to chase overdue invoices more urgently.
Step by step
- Go to Reports and select Cash Flow — the forecast loads automatically for the next 90 days
- Review the four summary cards at the top:
- Opening Balance — your current bank position
- Expected Income — total of outstanding invoices due in the next 90 days
- Expected Expenses — total of unpaid bills due in the next 90 days
- Closing Balance — projected balance after income and expenses
- Check the Weekly In/Out bar chart — green bars show expected income, red bars show expected expenses for each week
- Review the Projected Balance line chart — points below zero highlight weeks where you may go overdrawn
- Scroll down to the weekly breakdown table for the exact figures: Expected Income, Expected Expenses, Net, and Running Balance for each week
Good to know: The forecast is based on invoice and bill due dates. If you have unpaid invoices with no due date, they are not included. Raise bills and send invoices promptly to keep the forecast accurate.
