Day 2 Insight: The Importance of Cash Flow Management
Introduction
When Olumide started his custom furniture business, his passion for design and craftsmanship was unmatched. Orders came pouring in, but something felt off—he was always out of cash, struggling to pay suppliers, and unsure if he could make payroll. His profits looked impressive on paper, but in reality, he was one delayed payment away from shutting down.
Frustrated and uncertain about the next step, Olumide sought help from Zeiroz Accountants Hub. After a thorough analysis of his financials, it became clear that cash flow management was the missing piece. Together, we implemented a practical strategy, starting with detailed cash flow forecasts, streamlining payment cycles, and negotiating better terms with suppliers.
Within six months, Olumide’s business underwent a remarkable transformation. A structured approach to cash flow management became the turning point. Detailed cash flow forecasts allowed him to anticipate periods of surplus and shortages, while streamlined payment cycles aligned customer payments with supplier deadlines. Negotiating better terms with suppliers provided breathing room, and enforcing upfront deposits from customers ensured liquidity during production. By reducing unnecessary expenses and reinvesting in tools and staff, Olumide strengthened his operations. Regular cash flow reviews offered consistent oversight, and an emergency reserve fund provided stability. What once seemed like an endless struggle evolved into a thriving business powered by effective financial planning and disciplined execution.
