Forecasting

Spot the cash trough weeks before it lands, while you still have time to act

CX Cash projects your running balance 13 weeks ahead, marks the tightest week, and tells you the months of cover left, so a dip in August shows up in June instead of at the wire.

By the time the cash crunch shows up in the bank, it's too late to fix

Most teams watch the ending balance and the burn average, and both hide the moment that actually matters: the single week the running balance bottoms out. A quarter can finish healthy and still pass through a week where payroll, a tax payment, and a slow receivable all collide. If you only find that week when the balance drops, your options have already shrunk to an emergency draw or a rushed bridge. The fix is seeing the trough far enough ahead to pull a collection forward or open a line on calm terms.

What you can do

The trough, pinned

CX Cash walks the projected balance week by week and flags the lowest point, not the ending figure. You get the dollar amount and the exact week it lands, so you plan the cushion around the real low instead of an average that smooths it away.

13 weeks of runway you can read

The forecast rolls your inflows and outflows out a full quarter and draws the running balance as a line you can scan in seconds. The shape tells you whether you're drifting toward a wall or climbing back, well before either shows up in the account.

Months of cover, kept current

See how long your cash lasts at the current burn, recalculated as new actuals land. When a big receivable slips or spend ticks up, the number moves, so the cover you quote the board is the cover you actually have.

Test the fix before you commit

Drop in a pulled-forward collection, a delayed vendor payment, or a credit draw and watch the trough shift. You can see whether a given move clears the low week before you pick up the phone.

Onboard in three steps

  1. 01

    Connect your accounts

    Link your banks, cards, and billing so balances and expected inflows and outflows feed the model on their own. Nothing to map by hand, and nothing to re-key each week.

  2. 02

    Read the 13-week line

    Your projected running balance lands on one chart with the trough marked: the low amount, the week it hits, and your months of cover beside it.

  3. 03

    Act before the low week

    Model a collection, a payment delay, or a draw against the forecast and confirm it clears the trough, then make the call with weeks of lead time instead of days.

Questions

How far out does the forecast go? +

Thirteen weeks, the standard short-range horizon treasurers use. It's far enough to act on a tight week and near enough that the inputs are still grounded in real receivables and payables rather than guesses.

Why focus on the trough instead of the ending balance? +

Because survival turns on the single tightest week, not where the quarter finishes. A run can end comfortably and still pass through a week that breaks payroll. CX Cash marks that low point so you plan the cushion around it.

What feeds the projection? +

Your connected bank balances, expected inflows from billing, and scheduled outflows like payroll, rent, and vendor payments. As actuals come in, the line redraws, so the forecast tracks reality rather than a snapshot from a week ago.

Can I test a fix before I commit to it? +

Yes. Add a pulled-forward collection, push a payment out, or model a credit draw, and the projected balance and the trough update right away. You see whether the move clears the low week before you act on it.

How is this different from a forecast in a spreadsheet? +

A spreadsheet goes stale the moment a wire clears, and the trough is easy to miss in a wall of cells. CX Cash keeps the inputs live and surfaces the low week and months of cover for you, so the number you're steering by is current.
