# Rolling Cash Flow Forecast

> A weekly rolling 13-week cash forecast that turns runway from a guess into a number leadership can act on early.

**Category:** Finance

**When to use:** Weekly, for any company that needs to manage runway actively.

**Trigger:** Weekly cash-forecast update

## Steps

1. Start from the current cash balance across all accounts.
2. Lay in expected inflows by week: collections, new bookings, and any financing.
3. Lay in expected outflows by week: payroll, vendors, taxes, and recurring spend.
4. Roll the 13-week view forward one week and update actuals against last week's forecast.
5. Flag the lowest projected balance and the week it occurs.
6. If the low point breaches the comfort threshold, surface specific levers to leadership.

## Outputs

- An updated 13-week cash forecast
- A forecast-versus-actual check
- A flagged low point with levers if needed

## Tools

- Spreadsheet
- Accounting system
- Bank feeds

## Notes

Update actuals against last week's forecast every time. A forecast you never check against reality drifts into fiction within a month.
