<aside> ℹ️ A rolling 13-week direct cash view for a small company: every expected receipt and payment as a row, the week it lands, and a weekly board that shows opening cash, inflows, outflows, closing cash and the lowest point. Same method as Bindler's 13-Week Direct Cash Flow Forecast workbook, in Notion. Duplicate, set the opening balance, add your rows.

How to use

• Cash items: one row per receipt or payment. Pick the Week (1 to 13), the Type (Receipt or Payment), the Category and the Amount. Confidence marks what is contracted, expected or a guess.
• Weeks: one row per week. Opening cash for week 1 is your bank balance today; the rollups sum the receipts and payments related to each week, and the formulas give net movement and closing cash. Copy closing cash into the next week's opening cash each Friday (Notion has no cross-row reference).
• Review every Monday: move slipped receipts to the right week, add new payments, and watch the closing cash line for the first week that goes below your minimum.

Method

Direct method, receipts and payments only, no accruals. Week buckets follow the bank week (Monday to Sunday). This is a cash calendar, not a forecast model: the workbook adds the revolver draw and repay logic, the working capital bridge and a weekly variance sheet.
