Why this blueprint exists
Projected vs. actual side-by-side: Every month shows what you expected and what came in.
Runway is calculated: Based on burn rate and cash balance, see months of operating runway.
Categories match service businesses: Income from projects, retainers, and products—not enterprise revenue.
Freelancers and small teams often know what they invoiced but not what their actual cash position looks like. A cash flow tracker bridges that gap.
Checking your bank balance isn't cash flow management. You need projected income against known expenses by month to spot gaps before emergencies.
Runway awareness is critical for service businesses with irregular income.
This blueprint gives you monthly projected vs. actual cash flow, categorized income/expenses, and a runway calculation.
