Best Practice Management Reporting Guide
Summary
Knowing your cash flow hotspots ahead of time allow you to do different things: Either way, having the right information (including multiple scenarios), improves the chances of making good decisions. Cashflow management is important to most micro businesses and, even though one scenario may be more advantageous in the long term, they may not (yet) have the resources to get to that stage. People starting businesses are by their nature optimists and it can take longer than expected to reach a break-even point or to achieve a sales target. Understanding their cash needs for the next 12 months and being able to react early to anticipated shortfalls can be the difference between success and failure. Keeping things simple and understandable for a small business owner may mean providing them with relevant industry KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).
