Sheetgo’s cash flow template combines receipts and payments data automatically, enabling you to:
Generate a cash flow statement that’s always up-to-date
Monitor the money flowing in and out of your company or department
Save time on data collection, copy-pasting, emails, and meetings
How does the cash flow template work?
Data flows between 3 spreadsheets via Sheetgo connections:
A receipts spreadsheet. This is the file in which the individual or team responsible records money coming into the company. This might include data from customer sales, clients, bank loans, etc.
A payments spreadsheet. In this file, the person responsible records money leaving the company. This may include operational costs, payments to suppliers, staff wages, taxes, and so on.
A cash flow master spreadsheet for the manager, containing automated dashboards. Data flows into this file directly from the payments and receipts spreadsheets, via Sheetgo connections.
