What is cash flow management?

Cash flow management is all about tracking how much money is coming in and going out of your business, and when.

If you’re doing it right, understanding your cash flow takes the guesswork out of running a business – allowing you to budget and predict how much cash you will have in the short or long-term. It is a vital tool for any business that can influence every aspect of running a business.

Why is it important?
