These are two fixes that you should incorporate into your Cash Flow Manager. For context, our business has gradually moved from monthly invoicing to more annual upfront payment invoicing. (i) For predicting cash inflows, the technology does not allow me to add recurring cash flows starting at a future date, and your predictor will not pick up on these non-monthly payments. As a workaround, I have added them in as "one-off" cash in payments. (ii) The default projected forward analysis is 90 days. And yet, your overview output tables can include cash runways longer than 90 days. Your 90-day cut-off of assessing cash flows is prone to runway misinformation, both on the upside and downside, and you need to either inform your users or expand your input data for the cash runway calculation. As an example, if I have an expected annual upfront payment cash inflow 95 days from now. My cash runway estimates 10 months of runway. If I move the cash inflow by 5 days (so it is inside the 90 day cut-off), my runway is sustainable. It is clear that my annual upfront cash flows outside the 90 day cut-off are not being considered in your cash flow runway calculation. My guess is that any one-off cash outflows are also being missed, potentially producing a longer cash flow runway than it should.
