The 13-week
cash flow forecast.

Profit and cash are not the same thing, and the gap is where good companies get into trouble. Thirteen weeks is long enough to see a squeeze coming and short enough to stay accurate. This is the template we build for clients, ready to open in Excel or Google Sheets.

What's inside

  • The full weekly structure: beginning cash, receipts, disbursements, net, ending cash, revolver
  • The disbursement lines operators forget until they hurt (taxes, insurance, debt service, capex)
  • The four-step weekly discipline that turns a spreadsheet into foresight
  • Works in Excel and Google Sheets (CSV, no macros, no lock-in)

How to use it

  1. Fill week 1 from your bank balance and known receipts and payments. Estimate weeks 2 to 13; rough is fine.
  2. Every Monday, replace last week's forecast with actuals and note the three biggest misses.
  3. Add a new week 14 so the horizon never shrinks.
  4. If any week goes negative, act now, while you have weeks of warning instead of days.
