13 - Week Cash Flow Planning and Modeling

The 13-Week Cash Flow model is an underutilized but vital tool for business owners and leaders. It allows for dynamic scenario planning to align cash inflows (collections) with outflows (usages), especially for managing inventory lead-times and upfront payments. By focusing on a typical quarter of business activity, this short-term planning provides greater insights into a business’s cash situation, helping to better plan for capital investments, human capital needs, and debt/financing activities. Implementing this model is critical for making short-term decisions that can have lasting impacts on business growth and financial stability.
