Does your system forecast cash by customer and by bill?

A cash forecast is only as good as its collection assumptions. Ours starts from your actual receivables and payables, and times each collection by how that customer has really paid you.

SIDE BY SIDE

What your software does, and what we add

You keep the accounting software you use today. The platform works from its standard reports.

TYPICAL ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE

  • Cash projections built from bank activity and open invoices
  • Not built bill by bill from your agings using each customer’s payment history

THE BRADLEY & COMPANY PLATFORM

  • Built from your receivable and payable ledgers, invoice by invoice and bill by bill
  • Each customer’s collections timed by that customer’s own payment behavior
  • Four- to six-month guidance beyond the 13 weeks
  • Checked against the 12-month projection, so the two views agree
HOW IT WORKS
1

Each open invoice is placed in the week that customer is likely to pay, based on their history with you.

2

Each open bill is placed in the week you will pay it.

3

Payroll, rent, debt service, and taxes fill in the rest, and the forecast rolls forward every week.

WHY IT MATTERS
Cash timing by customer and by bill, not a trend line.

The week cash gets tight is the week that matters. Knowing which customer is the reason tells you whom to call.

CFO commentary

Cash stays well above the $500,000 minimum in every week. The low point, $1,244,300 in week 5, comes in a week with two payrolls and recovers the next week. No draw on the line is needed this quarter.
