The ladies of Funny Money are back and, on this episode, they’re discussing the importance of cash flow.

Alright so on this episode Dr. Cortney Baker and Ashley Altum of Profit Matters dive into the definition of cash flow and how to track it. Simply put, you have a beginning balance…where will that money go, and what will come in to make that balance go up? If you already have a budget for your business, you have all the line items such as marketing, rent, and insurance budgeted for, then you start going over how much cash is coming out and how much money you will collect. Alas, then you have your ending balance. Sounds simple right? Well if you’re anything like me, it still sounds like college physics so Dr. Cortney, has a tool that can help your business with its cash flow called the Guided Cash Flow Tool.
