COMMITLY calculates cash flow using the direct method, based on a simple principle: incoming payments minus outgoing payments.
For better analysis, this is divided into three areas:
Operating cash flow (ongoing business activities)
Three areas in focus: ongoing business activities, investing and financing.
Consists of the ongoing inflows and ongoing outflows of the connected accounts. Inflows and outflows are shown separately. The settings from the account balance development (period and plan/forecast) are applied here.
Income: e.g. customer invoices, recurring payments
Expenses: e.g. salaries, rent, service providers
Cash flow from investing and financing
If inflows or outflows in the investing or financing areas were planned or mapped in the selected period, they are shown in the corresponding charts.
Each of these three areas shows:
the current balance
the planned inflows or outflows (forecast)
its own development curve
This makes it possible to compare the current liquidity development with the planned one transparently and, above all, flexibly.
