What is Cash Flow
Management?
Cash flow refers to the movement of money coming in (income) and going out (outflows). The process of cash flow management involves understanding your sources of income, where it goes and what choices are appropriate to meet your lifestyle goals. It’s an active, continuous process of accounting, analysis and adjustment to meet your financial objectives. Cash flow planning and forecasting is key to lowering financial stress.
How We Perform a Cash Flow Analysis
We analyze your cash flow by looking at all of your income sources, and all your outflows – basic expenses, discretionary expenses, debt service, insurance premiums, taxes and savings. This provides you with clarity of your financial situation and allows us to more accurately project future “what if” scenarios. For example, if you're approaching retirement we can project how much money you will have during retirement and then calculate if that money will last throughout your life while factoring in future taxes, inflation and the projected rate of return on your portfolio.
