But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

In reply to Mike. Well the above article about Larimer county rural avm’s being grossly off by hundreds of thousands of dollars through entire portions of semi rural communities. That’s ‘evidence’ per se right? In my very own home, the avm’s provided by the local MLS became skewed when my neighbor died of a work accident, and then via probate a sale was recorded years later, which was reflective of several years back and not current, as well as being a discounted am

Cash is the fuel that keeps a business running; if your startup runs out of cash, it will sputter awhile and then conk out. You can have a great product, a solid customer base, and all the right metrics — yet still run out of money if you don’t manage it well. There’s no getting around it: Startups have to spend money to make money. SaaS startups, specifically, have to increase cash flow in order to scale.

[link] The hits keep on coming. Automatic valuation models utilized by county assessors. Fail rates for improperly inflated valuations identified as one in three in some areas, and two in three in other areas. Let that sink in, only one third of the avm results were even remotely accurate in rural locations, and a third to half of all other avm’s were not accurate in semi rural.
