What is cash flow?
Cash flow is the movement of money into and out of your business over time — what actually enters and leaves the account, as opposed to what was invoiced or promised.
Profit is an opinion; cash is a fact
A company can show profit and still miss payroll, because profit counts revenue when earned, not when paid. Cash flow tracks the real timing — which is why it kills more small businesses than lack of demand.
Tracking cash flow without spreadsheets
When payables and receivables live in an ERP like ERP Mobi, cash flow is computed from them live: money expected in, money committed out, and the gap you need to manage — updated every time anyone registers an entry.
