💵 Why Cash Flow is the Number that Keeps Founders up at Night

​How confident are you that your business will have enough cash next month to cover payroll and expenses? And the month after that?

​Most founders focus on revenue and profit but it is cash flow that actually determines if the business can meet payroll, pay vendors, and keep operating. A business can be profitable on paper and still run out of cash, and when that happens it is hard to recover.

​This session covers how cash actually moves through a business, the difference between profit and cash flow, and how to track and manage your cash position before it becomes a problem.

​We will cover:

​Cash Flow Basics

• ​How cash basis versus accrual accounting affects what you see in your financials

​Managing Cash

• ​What the cash conversion cycle is and how to manage it

• ​Burn rate and runway: what they are and how to calculate them

• ​Working capital optimization and what levers you can actually pull

​Forecasting and Warning Signs

• ​How to build a 13-week cash flow forecast

• ​Warning signs that cash flow is becoming a problem before it becomes a crisis
