Dashboard Addon: Cash Flow Forecast

See where your cash will be in 30, 60, and 90 days. This panel combines outstanding invoices, recurring expenses, and historical patterns to show you a projected cash timeline — so you never get surprised by a tight month.

Requires the Business Command Center dashboard. If you haven't set that up yet, start there first.

Before & After

Dashboard Without It

Your dashboard shows what's owed today and this month's revenue, but you can't see around the corner. Insurance renews in 3 weeks, two big invoices are net-30, and you're not sure if the timing works out.

You check your bank balance and hope for the best.

Dashboard With It

A timeline on your dashboard shows projected cash at 30/60/90 days:

  • Today: $12,400
  • 30 days: $8,200 (insurance + rent hit)
  • 60 days: $15,600 (two big invoices land)
  • 90 days: $13,100

You know the dip is coming and can plan around it.

What You Need

  • Business Command Centerset it up first if you haven't
  • Two Tabs + bank CSV + Month-End data — invoices for money coming in, bank data and month-end for money going out
  • 5 minutes — list your recurring expenses, Claude builds the forecast
1

Tell Claude Your Recurring Expenses

The forecast needs to know what goes out every month regardless of how busy you are. Tell Claude:

"Here are my recurring monthly expenses:
Rent: $[amount]
Insurance: $[amount]
Vehicle: $[amount]
Software: $[amount]
[Add your own]
I want to see my projected cash position for the next 90 days."

Claude will combine these fixed costs with variable expenses estimated from your month-end history, plus incoming payments from outstanding invoices.

Claude Adds the Cash Flow Panel

Tell Claude:

"Add a cash flow forecast panel to my dashboard. Show a timeline with projected cash at 30, 60, and 90 days. Color-code it — green when I'm comfortable, red when cash gets tight. Flag it if I'm projected to drop below $[your threshold]. Update my dashboard skill so this refreshes automatically."

Claude reads your existing dashboard, adds the forecast panel, and saves the updated skill. Every time you open the dashboard, it recalculates based on your latest invoices and bank data.

What You've Built

  • 30/60/90-day cash projection on your dashboard
  • Visual timeline showing when cash gets tight
  • Automatic alerts when projected cash drops below your threshold
  • Combines invoices, recurring expenses, and historical patterns
  • Updates every time you run your dashboard

No more checking your bank balance and guessing. You can see months ahead and make decisions before cash gets tight — not after.
