Cash flow management - what's expected in and out
A 30, 60 or 90 day forecast calculated from open invoices by due date, active standing orders and recurring expenses - alongside a historical cash flow statement by date range and a cash runway view, all inside Lynxbe with no spreadsheet on the side.
What cash flow management does
Cash flow management is knowing not just how much money there is today, but how much is expected in and out over the coming weeks. In Lynxbe the forecast is built from data already recorded in the system: open invoices by their due date, active standing orders with a next run date, and recurring expenses with a set recurrence. From that data a daily running balance is built forward, alongside a historical cash flow statement showing where the money already went in a past period.
What cash flow management actually does
Forecasted income from open invoices
The forecast sums every open, sent or overdue invoice by its due date, so expected income shows up on the day it is due rather than lumped at the start of the month.
Standing orders and recurring expenses inside the forecast
Active standing orders are projected forward by their frequency and next run date, and recurring expenses are projected forward by their set recurrence - each lands on its own expected day in the forecast, not one global total.
A running daily balance
Every day in the forecast carries expected income, expected expenses and the running balance from the start of the period - so you see not just the end total but any single day where the balance dips.
A 30, 60 or 90 day forecast window
Choose the forecast range - 30, 60 or 90 days ahead - and each choice pulls a freshly calculated forecast from the invoices, standing orders and expenses active at that moment.
Cash flow and runway in the financial tools screen
The cash flow and P&L screen shows the forecast as a table, alongside a cash runway calculation - how many months the forecasted balance covers at the business's average monthly burn rate - useful for knowing when to push collections.
A historical cash flow statement by date range
Beyond the forward forecast, a separate cash flow statement shows what actually happened in a chosen period - operating, investing and financing cash flow - real recorded movements, not an estimate.
