The Sheetgo Cash Flow template helps you manage and analyze business cash flow with ease. It consolidates receipts and payments into a single spreadsheet and provides automated dashboards and reports — giving you real-time visibility of money flowing in and out of your company.

How the Workflow is Structured

The workflow has:

  • Receipts form – Records money coming into the company, such as sales, clients, or loans.

  • Payments form – Records money going out, such as supplier payments, wages, or taxes.

  • Cash Flow spreadsheet – Automatically generated from the Receipts and Payments tabs to show balances, inflows, and outflows.
