13-Week Cash Flow Forecast

Description
Know your cash position for the next quarter — every week.

The 13-week cash flow forecast is the tool lenders, turnaround advisors and CFOs reach for first — because it answers the only question that ends businesses: will we run out of cash? Thirteen weeks is the sweet spot: long enough to see a crunch coming, short enough to forecast week by week with real accuracy. This template gives you that professional rolling weekly forecast without spending a weekend building one from scratch.

What's inside:

• A 13-week rolling engine — dates roll forward automatically from your chosen start date, so the forecast never goes stale
• 5 receipt lines and 10 payment lines covering payroll, VAT, loans, capex and more — structured the way a lender expects to see it
• A minimum cash buffer with automatic red alerts the moment any week breaches it — no squinting at rows of numbers
• A dashboard with a closing balance vs buffer chart, your lowest projected balance, and exactly which week it lands
• The weekly roll-forward routine documented step by step on the Instructions tab, so keeping it current takes minutes
  
  

Built to a finance-grade standard. That means zero formula errors, and a built-in Checks tab of automated integrity tests (it ships ALL PASS — and tells you immediately if anything breaks later). It follows industry colour conventions (BLUE = your inputs, BLACK = calculated formulas), so you always know exactly which cells are safe to edit. The layout is print-ready A4 with repeated headers, and there are no macros — nothing to enable, nothing for IT to worry about.

Who it's for: SME owners and finance managers who want early warning on cash — and accounting practices running cash advisory for clients.
