Template overview
Keeping track of the money coming in and out of your business is one of the most important habits for staying financially healthy as a freelancer or self-employed professional.
This cash flow template will help you map out your income and outgoings over time, so you always know where you stand. For example, it will help you answer questions like:
- When is money actually landing in your account, versus when it's invoiced?
- Do you have enough set aside to cover quiet months or late payments?
- Which expenses are fixed, and which change from month to month?
As you fill in the template, you'll build a clearer picture of your cash position, spot gaps before they become problems, and feel more in control of your business finances.
