How to forecast your cash position
Web
Updated Aug 2026
Profit doesn’t pay the bills — cash does. RushFlow’s Cash Flow Forecast projects cash in vs cash out over the coming months from your unpaid customer invoices and supplier bills, building a cumulative cash position so you can see a squeeze coming and act before it arrives.
Step by step
- Open the forecastWeb: Accounting → Cash Flow Forecast.
- Set your assumptionsEnter the number of months (up to 24), your opening cash, and expected payment terms for receivables and payables (default 30 days each), then Run.
- Read the projectionEach period shows inflow, outflow, net and cumulative cash; overdue/due-now amounts land in a first bucket, and the summary flags your projected position and lowest point.
Where the numbers come from
Inflows are your unpaid completed sales; outflows are your unpaid purchases; each is expected to settle at its document date plus your terms. It’s a read-only projection — it never posts anything.
