Cash flow stress is real, but it doesn’t have to hold your business back.
At @jsbaccountants, we help UK businesses understand and manage their cash flow with simple, practical strategies that make a big difference. Here’s how you can take control 👇
💡 What is cash flow management?
It’s all about tracking the money coming in (like customer payments and sales) and the money going out (like rent, salaries, stock, and tax).
A healthy cash flow = your business can pay its bills, invest in growth, and survive the slow months.
Now, let’s break down 8 cash flow strategies you can start using today:
🔹 1. Forecast Your Cash Flow
Look ahead at your income and expenses for the next few weeks or months. It’ll help you spot tight spots early and make smarter decisions.
We help clients set this up using tools like QuickBooks and we even offer 1-1 training to show you how.
🔹 2. Invoice Promptly
Don’t delay your invoices! The sooner you send them, the sooner you get paid.
Make your payment terms clear (e.g., “14 days”) and consider early payment incentives. Tools like QuickBooks can automate this for you, and yes, we’ll help set it up.
🔹 3. Budget Like a Pro
Review your monthly income and expenses, and adjust as needed.
If your profit margins are thin, it might be time to tweak pricing or cut back. A solid budget = a strong foundation.
🔹 4. Cut Unnecessary Costs
From unused subscriptions to overpriced suppliers, many businesses are spending more than they need to.
We can help you audit your expenses and find easy wins that improve your bottom line.
🔹 5. Offer Flexible Payment Terms (Carefully!)
Some clients need more time, and offering flexibility can build loyalty. Just make sure any extended terms or instalments are agreed in writing. We’ll help you set this up in a way that protects your cash flow.
🔹 6. Build an Emergency Fund
Aim to save enough to cover at least 3 months of operating costs.
This safety net will give you confidence and security, especially during unpredictable times.
🔹 7. Grow Your Revenue
Look for new sales opportunities, offer complementary services, or create bundles.
We work with businesses to assess the financial impact of growth plans before you commit.
🔹 8. Ask for Expert Help
Cash flow shouldn’t be guesswork. We work with businesses of all sizes to bring clarity to their finances whether that’s through forecasting, budgeting, or hands-on support with accounting tools.
