Have you ever been driving around knocking out a long list of errands when your car suddenly starts to sputter? You look down at the dashboard and realize the fuel is below the “E” line, and you instantly get that feeling of regret and exasperation.

Cash flow in a business context is a lot like the fuel in your car. When driving, your focus is on the destination, but you need gas for the car to get you there. In business, you have products to sell, services to perform, people to manage, and goals to reach. However, the cash in the bank account is the fuel you need to keep things intact and moving.

There are many factors that play into cash flow management, but two are easily identifiable and fixable with the right level of attention and support. The first is Accounts Receivable. Who owes you and when is their payment due? The second is Accounts Payable. Who do you owe and when is your payment due? Businesses that monitor receivables and payables on a regular basis avoid cash flow surprises.
