13-week Cash Flow Planner

Step 1. Set your starting position
Hi, I'm Alex. Save your own copy and replace the fictional examples. On Cash dashboard, set the week-starting date, opening cash and the cash buffer you want to maintain.

Step 2. Enter receipts and payments
Open Cash entries. Enter the expected cash date, description and category. Record each receipt in Cash in, or each payment in Cash out. Enter zero in the unused amount column.

Step 3. Check the entries
Use actual spreadsheet dates and keep receipts and payments on separate rows. Check the Entry status column for missing information. The planner includes entries within the selected thirteen-week period.

Step 4. Review the cash outlook
Return to Cash dashboard. Review the closing-cash chart, lowest weekly cash and weeks below your buffer. Use the weekly table to see when receipts and payments create a shortfall.

Step 5. Update the plan
Review expected dates each week and replace estimates with actual cash movements. Reconcile your opening cash when rolling the plan forward. This tracks cash timing, not accounting profit. Save a dated copy for your records.
