Why Cash Flow Forecast & Liquidity Planning Matters

We design tailored liquidity planning frameworks built around your business model giving you daily visibility, weekly control, and long-term planning certainty while clarifying how changing cash inflows and outflows affect solvency. A strong liquidity plan strengthens risk management, prevents negative cash situations early, and helps you assess upcoming needs, protect your financial health, and make confident decision-making possible for future growth.

Cash Management

Maintain full visibility into your cash flow and liquidity, and covenant headroom so you can manage your cash position proactively and respond quickly to change. With precise planning of cash outflows and inflows, we help you evaluate risks early, optimize working capital, and strengthen the financial health of your business.

Connect inflows and outflows

By linking operational plans directly to cash inflows and outflows, we create a clear view of payment timing, outflow cycles, and upcoming obligations. This enables you to analyze liquidity needs early, optimize capital allocation, and maintain stability across your business.

Test scenarios instantly

Build a scenario-ready liquidity model that lets you test every scenario instantly and see how shifts in revenue, capital, or cash outflows impact your liquidity. This gives you the clarity to analyze risks early, protect your financial health, and ensure your business can act with confidence.

Identify liquidity risks early

Monitor deviations automatically and forecast liquidity under stress conditions to detect risks before they materialize. This strengthens financial stability and ensures proactive liquidity management across all planning horizons.

Create transparent reports

Generate clear audit-ready liquidity reports that generate transparency for management, executive teams, financing partners and your bank. Transparent liquidity planning improves communication, supports operational decisions, and helps safeguard financial resilience.

Planning certainty and strategic control

A professional liquidity plan provides structure, consistency, and planning certainty. It combines accounting data with real cash flow insights and supports you in making informed, strategic decisions at every stage of your financial planning.

You host the model within your own environment. Access rights, controls, and audit trails keep your information secure and your liquidity planning fully auditable.

A strong liquidity plan shows when cash inflows and outflows occur and how they affect your solvency. It always starts with the opening balance of liquid funds the cash currently available in your accounts.

From there, all expected cash movements are planned for the relevant period creating a clear overview of payments, expenses, and potential shortfalls.

  1. Define the planning period daily, weekly, monthly, or long-term depending on your business model.
  2. Record the opening balance of available liquidity.
  3. Plan inflows such as customer payments, refunds, or financing.
  4. Plan outflows such as wages, supplier invoices, or operating expenses.
  5. Calculate net liquidity subtract outflows from inflows and add the result to your opening balance.
  6. Evaluate the results to detect liquidity gaps early and plan corrective action.

Focusing exclusively on cash-effective transactions ensures that your liquidity plan reflects real payment behavior. As complexity grows, automated liquidity planning tools and integrated dashboards deliver better forecasting accuracy and efficiency.

Review your liquidity plan regularly ideally weekly or monthly to maintain accuracy and support informed strategic decisions.
