Cash flow refers to the movement of money into and out of a small business. For a business, positive cash inflows are crucial to meet its financial obligations and fund future operations.

Businesses need to monitor and manage their cash flow for several reasons, among them:

• Emergency Fund: To have a cushion for unexpected expenses or economic downturns
• Inventory management: To ensure that cannabis operators always maintain proper inventory levels
• Profitability: To assess the overall health of the business, as positive cash flow doesn’t necessarily mean profitability.

Businesses often face cash flow challenges, especially in today’s economic climate. Therefore, having a robust cash flow management plan is crucial for their financial sustainability, survival, and growth.

Effective cash flow management involves forecasting future cash flows, understanding the business’s financial cycle, and taking steps to ensure cash inflows consistently exceed outflows.

For these reasons and more, having a CFO On Call adds real value to your operation, helping you manage cash flow with a future-oriented focus.
