How to use the Cash Flow section

1. What it shows

1. 1Money in and money out for the period, side by side, with the difference at the bottom.
2. 2Cash in hand today across all your bank accounts and the petty cash drawer.
3. 3What customers still owe you, and roughly when it should arrive.
4. 4Bills and payroll coming due, so you can see a squeeze before it happens.

2. Using it

1. 1Open Cash Flow and choose the period — the current month is the most useful view.
2. 2Look at the running balance line. A dip below zero is a warning to chase invoices or delay a purchase.
3. 3Click into any figure to see the transactions behind it.
4. 4Chase the overdue invoices it shows you — the Invoices page will email a reminder in one click.

Profit and cash are not the same thing. A profitable month can still leave you short if nobody has paid you yet — that is exactly what this page catches.
