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](https://docs.kick.co/reports/profit-and-loss) 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](https://docs.kick.co/reports/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
