Healthy cash flow is vital for the success of any business. No matter how popular an operation is, if it can’t pay its suppliers or staff on time, or if it’s taking on too much short-term debt to make up for shortfalls, it risks failure.
As an advisor, you can help your clients improve their cash flow health by recommending and using the right mix of technology. We know it’s already top of mind for many of you. According to Xero’s research*, 57% of practices have cash flow and business planning advisory as their number one priority. And it’s not hard to see why. Our research also shows that, as of July 2018, just over half of businesses were cash flow positive, which leaves a lot of businesses needing help to get their cash flow on track in order to reach their goals.
That’s why we’ve just released our new cash flow app playbook. It covers the three key areas of cash flow app advisory and the corresponding technology stacks, so you can help your clients get their cash flow on track.
It’s simple to get started
Regardless of the industry or size of your client’s business, our cash flow playbook will show you the steps to follow to successfully implement cash flow advisory. It will take you through a range of questions to help you identify the specific areas your clients need help for their unique situation. Then it shows you where to place your attention to enable your clients to reach their cash flow goals.
And the best thing – it’s not complicated. Just a few small changes can make a huge difference to your client’s cash flow. For example, if your client needs a more efficient accounts receivables process, simply implementing an electronic payment service could dramatically improve how quickly they get paid. Our research shows clients using PayPal or Stripe get paid anywhere between 10 and 20 days faster by using these services.**
