Cash Flow Forecasting FAQs

How does Centime define cash flow forecasting?

Cash flow forecasting is a financial management practice that involves estimating and projecting the inflow and outflow of cash in a business over a specific period. It is particularly important for CFOs and finance executives as it helps them anticipate future cash needs, identify potential cash flow gaps, and make informed decisions to ensure the financial stability and success of the business. By analyzing patterns and trends in cash flow, CFOs can effectively manage liquidity, optimize working capital, and plan for growth and investment opportunities. Centime specifically uses a 13 week forecast on our platform to help finance teams plan their short term cash management strategies.

What is the best way to track cash flow?

It depends. There are three popular cash flow forecasting methods: direct, indirect, and discounted. The direct method typically works best for short-term forecasting while the indirect cash flow forecasting model usually works best for longer-term forecasting to fund extended growth strategies and capital projects. Lastly, the discounted cash flow (DCF) model is great for determining whether it makes sense to invest in real estate, purchase stocks, or take on a new project. Each of these three models has its own benefits and limitations, so make sure to select your cash flow forecasting model based on your unique forecasting goals.
