Cashflow
Cashflow, within the Treasury Plan, is the view that allows you to define, visualize, and closely monitor payment and collection goals, that is your cashflow.
From this view, you can see projected targets based on those set in the Targets view and forecasts automatically generated from documents, such as invoices or payroll. This gives you a complete view of your business' cash flow and financial health.
In addition to setting specific goals and creating various analysis scenarios (cross-sectional to Goals view), this tool helps you anticipate liquidity needs and effectively manage your financial resources to make informed decisions.
Focusing on the actual movement of money, Cashflow is essential to ensure the sustainable growth of your company in the long term.
