Accurate cash flow forecasting is essential for managing a business's finances. PlanGuru simplifies this process by automatically handling cash flow without requiring manual projections
When opening a blank scenario, the cash line is pre-created. Users can change its description but not it's projection methods.
For instance, adding a fixed asset reduces cash unless it's financed by a loan, which keeps the cash balance unchanged. PlanGuru adjusts cash based on balance sheet changes, increasing or decreasing cash proportionately to asset and liability adjustments. Income statement impacts on cash are also automatically managed.
Adding a revenue account increases cash unless sales are on account, in which case accounts receivable terms affect cash flow. The tool captures these dynamics in an automatically generated cash flow statement, ensuring comprehensive and accurate forecasting.
