The KDC 13 Week Cash Forecasting Tool

What It Is:

The KDC 13 Week Cash Forecasting Tool is a critical aid to the fundamental management process of forecasting cash availability based on near term bookings outlook and the company’s own unique operating parameters.

Why The KDC 13 Week Cash Forecasting Tool Is So Important:

  1. Bookings can be steady, rising, falling, or choppy: 3 of the 4 scenarios have significant impacts on cash.
  2. Rising bookings are especially stressful on cash due to the need to finance rising working capital. Choppy, unstable bookings can be nearly as stressful.
  3. Knowing your likely position allows you to take timely intelligent action well before the fact arrives.
  4. The tight credit market limits a company’s ability to finance short term cash issues on short notice.
  5. Creditors almost universally demand a professional, justifiable 13 week cash forecast as a condition for granting, maintaining, or extending credit.

Why the KDC 13 Week Cash Forecasting Tool Is of Significant Value to Your Company:
