Cash flow and operations calculators
Three calculators for the questions that keep owners up: will cash cover the next months, how much is tied up in working capital, and how fast inventory turns.
Cash, not profit, is what closes small businesses. These calculators are the most natural fit for bookkeepers, who already see the numbers each month.
When cash questions come up
Inventory Analysis
After year-end inventory counts. “is my inventory turnover good”
Working Capital
During growth, when cash gets tied up. “how much working capital does my business need”
Cash Flow Budget
December budgeting, or a tight month. “how do I make a cash flow budget for my business”
Cash flow & operations: questions firms ask
Is the cash flow budget a forecast?
It is a simple budget from the owner's expected inflows and outflows, not a driver-based forecast.
What does working capital tell an owner?
Whether current assets cover current liabilities, and how much cash is tied up in operations.
What inventory metrics are included?
Turnover and days in inventory from cost of goods sold and average inventory.
Why are these good for bookkeepers?
They use figures from the monthly close and open an advisory conversation.
Can owners save their budget?
They can print or share it; for ongoing work, they send it to the firm.
Do they connect to accounting software?
No, owners type the figures.
Which plan includes them?
Every plan, including free Practitioner (up to 5 calculators at once).
Should we leave lead capture on for existing clients?
Many firms turn it off on client-portal pages and leave it on for public pages.
No question matches that filter. Clear it to see them all, search the whole site, or ask us directly; we reply within one business day.
