Cash Flow Management for Startups

Profit and cash are not the same.

A startup can report accounting profit while still experiencing cash-flow pressure because money may be tied up in:

Cash-flow reporting can help founders understand expected inflows, outflows and funding requirements.

CW · BUDGETING

Startup Budgeting & Forecasting

As a startup grows, management may need to estimate:

  • Revenue
  • Hiring costs
  • Marketing expenditure
  • Technology costs
  • Office costs
  • Working capital
  • Funding requirements
  • Cash runway

These can form part of a broader MIS or Virtual CFO engagement.
