How is a cash flow budget different to a profit and loss statement?

A profit and loss statement reports income and expenses earned or incurred; a cash flow budget tracks the actual timing of money in and out. A profitable business can still run short of cash if the timing does not line up.

How often should a cash flow budget be reviewed?

Most small businesses review their budget as each reporting period closes, so the forecast stays aligned with real results. We can set a review rhythm that suits your business.

Do you prepare budgets for new businesses?

Yes. A cash flow budget is a core part of a business plan. Call 07 3408 9319 to talk through what you need.

Do you work with businesses outside Bribie Island?

Cash flow

What is a cash flow budget?

A cash flow budget gives an overview of the cash inflows and outflows of a business over a set period. It is one of the most critical elements of a business plan, because it shows whether there will be enough cash on hand to cover wages, suppliers, loan repayments and tax obligations when they are due.

Attax Taxation & Bookkeeping provides business cash flow budgets and similar services for clients on Bribie Island, so your financial engine keeps running smoothly.

Step by step

Building your budget

Start with accurate records

A budget is only as good as the history behind it, so we work from your bookkeeping records and prior financial reports.

Forecast the period ahead

We map expected income and expenses across the period, including the BAS and IAS obligations that fall due along the way.

Review and adjust

As real results come in we compare them with the budget and adjust, so the forecast stays useful rather than becoming a document that sits in a drawer.
