Cash management tool

Get an iron grip on cash

Decision makers in business today want to understand the complex relationships between business activity and cash – at any given moment  and in real time. We've been developing and using our own Cash Management Tool. It's not a new software, it's a way to use the systems you already have. We find it indispensable in the businesses we work with and we believe you will find it indispensable too.

A growing need

We've encountered a growing need for cash management expertise. Our cash management tool provides a snapshot of the state of the business at any time and helps identify areas of concern both in the quality of information for decision making, and to help uncover potential problems in the business itself.


If the  need is high and time is short, in addition to building the tool around your business' data, we provide cash management support and project oversight.

Different from a traditional cashflow

The cash management tool reads data already in your accounting system and derives useful information by doing additional calculations.


It enables decision makers to track important relationships between business activity and cash over time and alerts the executives responsible. 


Since it's non-destructive, it can be automatically refreshed every single week.

It's the data model behind it

You could do all  this with a traditional cash flow, but it would be a lot more work because it's not just a spreadsheet. It has a data model behind it, with relationships and dimensions between the data – it's a structure that exists separately from the data itself.


And of course, because it's non-destructive, you can have the data available, and you can drill down and look at the actual raw numbers.

Relationships and dimensions derived from the data behind it

You could do this with a traditional cash flow, but it would be a lot more work because it's not just a spreadsheet. It has a data model behind it with relationships between the different data – dimensions and relationships that exist separately from the data itself.

And of course, because it's non-destructive, you can have the data available, and you can drill down and look at the actual raw numbers.

We developed this tool to use instead of a traditional cash flow because it allowed us to look at the financing and the cash flow from the same data set – the interaction between the supplier finance and the cash requirements of the business.

Every time we use it, it drives incremental quality in the bookkeeping. Not only that, the month end takes less time too.

The chart is instantly understandable. It might take five or ten minutes to understand what it means the first time but after that it just springs out and it's capable of a fifteen second review.

Once it's put into a pack, the whole thing can be reviewed in ninety seconds because each thing means something. It's the same every time because the format never changes and different people will look for different things in it.

One of the things about thinking about it as mechanical is we can describe it as a projection, not a forecast. We can say, "if this data is correct and if these parameters and assumptions are correct, the answer will be x because it's all coming from the underlying data.
