Cash flow statement template
What is a cash flow statement?
A cash flow statement is a document that shows the cash - including money from investments and convertible assets - moving in and out of a business, broken down by its source. This is used to make sure a company has enough cash to meet its day to day expenses, and to project how cash flows in future may shape up.
A cash flow statement - which is also called a statement of cash flows - is used alongside a company balance sheet and income statement to review the financial performance of a business. These 3 key financial statements are used by investors and business owners to manage and improve the profitability of their business.
Cash flow statements are also used when a business is looking for investment or a loan, to demonstrate the company is delivering a profit and using income wisely.
