Frequently asked questions

Can my accountant access this?

Yes. Share the Google Sheets link with view access and your accountant sees the same live forecast you do. No file sending, no version confusion.

What is the difference between cash flow and profit?

Profit is revenue minus costs on paper. Cash flow is the actual money in your account. A business can be profitable but cash-flow negative if customers pay late — this template tracks the cash, not the paper profit.

How accurate will my forecast be?

As accurate as the assumptions you put in. The template includes a variance column so you can compare forecast to actual each week and improve the accuracy of future predictions over time.
