Receipts, commitments and liquidity needs
Corporate Treasury Analysis
Assess when operating cash is expected to arrive, which commitments must be met and where funding pressure may arise. We review cash flow, working capital and internal resource allocation to support treasury discussions and spending priorities.
SERVICE OVERVIEW
Cash flow & working capital
A treasury review connects receivables, supplier terms, payroll, recurring costs and planned expenditure within an agreed forecast period. The focus is cash availability and timing, rather than reported profit alone.
We examine the inputs to a cash budget, distinguish confirmed commitments from estimates and document the assumptions behind expected receipts. Management can then compare operating requirements with the resources available to meet them.
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
When this review is useful.
- Customer receipts arrive after supplier, payroll or other operating commitments fall due.
- Cash forecasts combine different reporting dates or omit recurring expenditure.
- Growth absorbs working capital before the associated sales generate cash.
OUR APPROACH
Build a cash timetable from operating records.
- 01
Reconcile the starting position
Agree the opening cash position and reporting date. Review selected receivables, payables and expenditure records, noting unavailable inputs and differences requiring client confirmation.
- 02
Build the cash timetable
Group expected receipts and payments by period. Record timing assumptions and compare management-defined cases, such as delayed collections or earlier supplier commitments.
- 03
Set review responsibilities
Identify which inputs need regular updates, who owns them and which forecast changes warrant management attention. Discuss resource-allocation options against the resulting funding timetable.

How this service is delivered
We first agree the forecast horizon and operating question. After reviewing the available inputs, we prepare the agreed worksheets and discuss timing gaps with management. A review meeting records corrections, outstanding assumptions and update responsibilities. Recurring forecast support is separately scoped.
The proposal sets the actual deliverables, timetable, fees and any continuing support. The work supports management review; it does not guarantee a financial result.
