Build a 90-Day Cash Flow Forecast
Use this as your starting prompt to build an initial 90-day cash flow forecast. Replace the bracketed sections with your actual numbers before sending.
The Prompt
I need a 90-day cash flow forecast for my small business. Please build it as a week-by-week table for the next 13 weeks, then summarize it month by month. Show your assumptions clearly so I can correct anything that is wrong. Here are my numbers: - Starting cash balance: [your amount] - Cash coming in: - [Client/source, expected amount, expected payment date] - [Client/source, expected amount, expected payment date] - [Repeat for each] - Cash going out: - [Expense name, amount, date or frequency] - [Expense name, amount, date or frequency] - [Repeat for each] After building the table, please tell me: (1) the week where my cash balance is lowest, (2) whether my ending balance is higher or lower than my starting balance, and (3) any gaps or risks you can see in these numbers.
