Key Action Points
Profitability does not equal cash flow. Managing the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC)?reducing Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) while optimizing Accounts Payable terms?is the foundation of sustainable expansion.
The 13-Week Cash Flow Architecture
A 13-week cash flow model projects weekly cash receipts and disbursements over a quarterly horizon. This provides early warning signals for liquidity troughs before they impact payroll or supplier relations.
Strategies to Shorten Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)
- Automate invoice delivery and payment reminders using integrated accounting platforms (Accounting Services).
- Incentivize early payment terms (e.g., 2/10 Net 30).
- Require upfront retainers for custom project deliverables.
