Purpose
Incoming payments, outgoing payments, balance control
Align incoming payments, outgoing payments, and balance trends first to reduce missed warnings.
You can keep monthly cash flow and actuals in the same workbook, which makes reviews easier.
You can also add notes in the same flow, which makes it easier to share with accounting and management.
Start with the inflow and outflow assumptions. Cash forecasts and alert assessments must be calculated separately and updated manually. Sample amounts retain currency symbols from the source data; changing the currency name does not convert the amounts. Align the currency and replace sample data before using the workbook.
How Excel is used
How to run cash flow forecasting in Excel
Set the company assumptions first, then review cash balances and periods below the safety line. Enter calculated results in the workbook manually.
Step 1
Set company details
Fix the currency, opening cash, and safety cash line for one company so the forecast stays consistent.
Step 2
Enter receipts and payments
Record customer receipts, supplier payments, and recurring cash flows in their sheets. Enter financing reserves in the monthly cash forecast.
Step 3
Review the cash forecast
Check monthly forecast inflows, forecast outflows, closing cash, and periods below the safety line.
Step 4
Complete the alert review
Capture gap reasons, response actions, and owners so the next forecast starts from a clearer baseline.
