Cash Flow Management
Cash flow forecasting and working capital analysis for businesses whose profit and loss statement looks nothing like their bank balance. Jacobs & Newmark builds the projection, identifies where cash is actually tied up (receivables, inventory, work in progress, owner draws, debt service), and reviews it with the owner on a recurring basis rather than once at year end.
What this covers
- Cash flow forecasting and working capital analysis
- Identifying where cash is tied up: receivables, inventory, work in progress, debt service
- Recurring review with the owner rather than a one-off model
- Reporting built for the decisions actually in front of the business
When people call us about this
- The business is profitable on paper and short of cash
- You are deciding whether you can afford a hire or a piece of equipment
- Receivables are stretching and you cannot see the pattern
- Seasonality makes some months unpredictable
Any of these is a reason to call. We will tell you what the situation actually takes before you engage the firm.
