Cash Flow Forecasting:
A Hands-on Approach
Kenneth L. Parkinson
Organizations of all sizes and in all industries benefit from good, efficient cash flow forecasting. However, many ignore the fundamentals that are explained in this book. For example, many forecasting systems don’t work well because they focus only on the cash balance, ignoring cash flows. A successful cash flow forecasting system integrates the daily, weekly, and monthly forecasts into one system. By linking shorter-term forecasts to longer-term forecasts, financial managers can monitor cash levels, time their investments and borrowings more efficiently, and plan for future needs with confidence.

Get a jumpstart on your cash flow forecasting system with 32 different Microsoft Excel worksheets. These templates were developed by Ken Parkinson as a companion to his book Cash Flow Forecasting: A Hands-on Approach. Many of the models are integrated with a master maturity schedule to make updating individual spreadsheets automatic. These links can also be overwritten if you don’t want to use them. In addition, there are links between several templates and history files to make it easier to create and update forecasting data history files. Ken developed these spreadsheet templates from his own experience as a treasury executive, consultant, and professor. They are simple to use since there are no hidden macros or tricky techniques to master.
