Cash Flow Forecasting
See where your cash is headed — before it gets there.
SteadyOps Cash Flow Forecasting uses your invoices, payments, expenses, and recurring jobs to project your cash position weeks ahead.
The old way vs the SteadyOps way
The old way
You check your bank balance and hope for the best. By the time you realize cash is tight, it's too late to collect on overdue invoices or cut expenses.
The SteadyOps way
SteadyOps analyzes your payment history, outstanding invoices, recurring schedules, and expenses to project cash flow 8 weeks out — with risk alerts.
How it works
Get started in minutes
SteadyOps pulls your financial data
The system aggregates data from your invoices, payments received, recurring billing schedules, expenses logged, and outstanding receivables — all automatically from your existing SteadyOps activity.
AI projects weekly cash position
Using your payment history and patterns, AI forecasts your expected cash inflows and outflows for each of the next 8 weeks. Projections update daily as new data comes in.
Risk weeks are flagged
If any week shows projected outflows exceeding inflows — or your cash position dropping below your comfort threshold — it is flagged with a risk alert and suggested actions.
Actionable recommendations
AI suggests specific actions: 'Collect $3,200 in overdue invoices this week to avoid a shortfall in Week 4' or 'Delay the equipment purchase by 2 weeks to smooth cash flow.'
Key capabilities
8-week rolling forecast
See your projected cash position for each of the next 8 weeks. The forecast updates daily as invoices are sent, payments are received, and expenses are logged.
Outstanding receivables tracking
The forecast factors in every outstanding invoice, weighted by the customer's historical payment speed. Slow payers are discounted; fast payers are counted sooner.
Recurring revenue modeling
Recurring invoices and subscription billing are projected forward automatically. See the baseline revenue you can count on each week.
Expense trend analysis
AI tracks your expense patterns — materials, payroll, fuel, software — and projects them forward. Spot rising costs before they erode your margins.
Risk alerts with suggested actions
When a cash shortfall is projected, you get an alert with specific actions: collect overdue invoices, delay a purchase, or accelerate a scheduled billing cycle.
Historical comparison
Compare this month's cash flow to the same month last year. See seasonal patterns, growth trends, and whether your business is improving or declining.
Real-world scenario

The scenario
The owner opens the cash flow forecast on Monday. Week 3 is flagged red: payroll of $12,000 is due but only $7,500 in payments are projected. The system recommends collecting $4,800 in overdue invoices from two customers who historically pay within 3 days of a reminder.
The result
He sends the reminders Monday morning. Both invoices are paid by Wednesday. Week 3 is now green. He decides to hire a 7th painter for the spring rush, confident that cash flow supports the expansion. Without the forecast, he would have discovered the shortfall on payday.
