You need the tools, and resources that will help you get a better understanding of your cash flow situation -- in order to preserve and grow your cash because with banks cutting back on loans and credit lines, the only thing left in your arsenal is CASH! That said, let me emphasize that there may be some golden opportunities to explore that are right there for the asking. But again, the bottom line is that you need to have an accurate picture of your financial position, and of course, COLD CASH to bring your company to the next level of success.Today's version of cash-basis accounting is great to let businesses know precisely at a moment's notice how much CASH is available. Add to that base the ability to project cash availability by month for a minimum of six months and preferably twelve months. Without that capability, how are you going to take advantage of the opportunities that are out there?
