Cash Flow Forecast Skill
Profit is an opinion; cash is a fact — and businesses fail by running out of it even while "profitable". A short-term (commonly 13-week) cash flow forecast shows, week by week, whether money coming in covers money going out, and when the tightest point hits. This skill builds that forecast's structure and math so you can see trouble early and act.
Note: this is a planning aid, not financial, investment, or accounting advice. It structures a forecast from figures you provide and projects from your assumptions; it does not guarantee outcomes. Confirm material decisions with a qualified accountant/advisor. Never invent actual balances or amounts.
Working from a brief
Given "build me a 13-week cash flow", produce the full structure anyway — lay out the model with the formulas and a worked example using placeholder figures (replace with your numbers). Use the real numbers where the user gave them; never fabricate a starting balance or a result.
