Controlling Cashflow

Sales and profits are important for every enterprise, but cash is king. Understanding the cashflow dynamics of the business - why and when cash flows in and out – are critical to ensuring that management teams are in control of the finances of their businesses and not the other way round.

Secantor will:

  • Provide a regular snapshot of the cashflow position of the business, including inflows and outflows and how these relate to any debts being carried.
  • Drawing on this understanding, develop predictive models and presenting a short term forecast of the cash and bank position. This enables tactical decisions and actions to be taken to avoid breaching overdraft facilities or to smooth out peaks and troughs.
  • Undertake longer term planning to identify more strategic initiatives on the cash and financing position of the business, such as new funding to support growth, refinancing of existing debts, or preparation for exit.
  • These additional capabilities allow management teams to pursue their business goals, and avoid the stress and anxiety associated with cashflow fire-fighting.
