Stabilize your cash flow during and after a crisis
Cash flow management for when revenue dries up
When the economy is in flux, do you have effective cash flow management? Do you have enough cash reserves to weather the storm for an extended period?
Tips for financial health during an economic downturn
Understand the cash coming in and going out of your business
Cash is the most important KPI you have right now. Normally you wouldn’t need to track the cash that comes in and out of your accounts each day, but during these times, you need to be laser-focused on it. And it extends beyond merely the cash coming into your account. Revenue is going to slow down, so you must ensure you know how your cash level ebbs and flows.
Reach out to your clients about payment timing
Just because you send an invoice to a client doesn’t mean they’ll have the ability to pay. Now is the time to reach out to clients, especially larger accounts that bring in a majority of your accounts receivable, to make sure you’re in agreement on the timing of their payments.

Look ahead at revenue through forecasting
Many MSPs only have a month of cash reserves on hand, making it vital to have a crystal-clear understanding of their company’s financial operations. Determine your cash burn rate, gain visibility into your finances, and cut expenses to build resilience.
Streamline your process for improved cash flow
Cash flow worries keeping you up at night? Ultimately, nothing is more important to optimize your company’s cash flow than your billing and invoicing process. Having the right tools makes it easier to track time, bill clients, and get paid faster.
