Cash Flow

The Cash Flow report shows the movement of cash through your business over a period - broken down by operating, investing, and financing activity. It answers a question the P&L doesn't: where did the money actually go?

A business can be profitable on the P&L but still run short on cash. The Cash Flow report helps you understand why. For a day-to-day cash picture, see Insights.

Go to Accounting → Cash Flow.

What you're looking at

• Operating activities - cash generated or spent running the day-to-day business (revenue collected, expenses paid, changes in receivables and payables)
• Investing activities - cash spent on or received from long-term assets (equipment purchases, asset sales)
• Financing activities - cash from loans, owner contributions, or distributions

The bottom line is the net change in cash - how much your cash position increased or decreased over the period.

Change the date range

Use the date picker to select any period. If you have multiple entities, use the entity dropdown to view a single business or a combined view.

When to use it

• To understand why your bank balance changed even though your P&L looks healthy
• To spot periods where cash got tight
• To prepare for upcoming large payments or investments
• To share with a lender or investor who wants to see your cash position
