Cash problems in growing companies rarely come from one cause. Receivables stretch, inventory builds, payables are paid in the wrong order and nobody has a view beyond the current month. We put a weekly forecast in place, find where cash is tied up, and fix the routines that let it happen.
Signs this applies to you
- Salaries, GST or TDS are paid by stretching vendors or drawing the full bank limit
- Receivables are routinely beyond 60 to 90 days, with no collection routine
- Month-end brings cash surprises that nobody saw coming
- Inventory keeps rising faster than sales
- There is no forecast of cash beyond the current month
What we do
- 13-week rolling cash flow forecast, refreshed every week
- Receivables framework: credit terms, collection calendar and weekly ageing review
- Payables scheduling that protects key suppliers and statutory dues
- Inventory review by item and location to release slow-moving stock
- Review of working capital limits, drawing power and stock statements
- Statutory payments planned within due dates to avoid interest and penalties
What you receive
- Weekly cash forecast with variance to the previous week
- Monthly working capital dashboard: DSO, DIO, DPO and cash conversion cycle
- Collection action list by customer, with owners and dates
