Cash Flow is a report detailing the movement and remaining balance of funds in your accounts on a specific date. Inspect the Cash Flow in your management console to:

  • Assess business liquidity. Cash Flow helps determine available funds to meet obligations, crucial for maintaining the business.

  • Forecast financial trends and manage risks. Regularly reviewing Cash Flow can identify potential issues early and find solutions for covering expenses or debts.

  • Measure efficiency. Comparing Cash Flow across different periods helps gauge business success and financial management effectiveness.

  • Plan investments. Use Cash Flow to assess opportunities for investing in new projects or expanding existing ones.


Customize your report:

  1. Open the Finance → Cashflow in the management console.

  2. Set the reporting period or day at the top right.

  3. Choose an Account from the dropdown list at the top left.

  4. Click ⿲ Columns at the top right to set which data to show or hide in the report:

    • Card and Cash, money

    • Card and Cash, %

  5. Move columns around for convenient comparison of figures across different periods. To do this, click and hold the column title and drag it to the desired position.

Check all income and expenses:

  1. Click on Cash Inflow to review all income categories: cash register shifts, deposits, reimbursements, etc.

    ☝️ To see transaction dates, amounts and accounts click ▼ next to the figures.

  2. In the Cash Outflow section, check all expense categories. For example, supplies, payroll, utility costs, etc.

  3. Inspect Beginning Cash Balance and Ending Cash Balance.

  4. Net Cash Flow at the bottom is the difference between the account balances at the beginning and end of the period.

💡 if you had $2,000 at the beginning and $2,670 at the end, the net cash flow for the period would be +$670.
