About this cash flow forecast spreadsheet template

This Cash Flow Forecast template provides a complete 12-month liquidity planning tool for finance professionals, small business owners, and FP&A teams. Built across five structured sheets — Inputs, Forecast, Scenarios, Dashboard, and Instructions — it guides you from entering assumptions through monthly projections, sensitivity testing, and executive reporting.

The template uses a clean dashboard style with blue hardcode cells for assumptions, black formula cells for calculations, and green linked cells for cross-sheet references. Every input, from opening cash and customer receipts to payroll, supplier payments, opex, and capex, is fully editable so you can replace the illustrative numbers with your own financial data.

Compatible with WPS Office, Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers, this XLSX file works across platforms without rebuilding formulas. The built-in scenario selector and heat matrix let you stress-test receipts and cost changes instantly, while the executive dashboard surfaces closing cash and headroom for leadership decisions.
