Cash Flow
Why profit and cash are not the same number: where the money actually came from and where it went.
Where the cash went in August
You made $7,432 profit in August, and cash rose $392. The gap between profit and cash is mostly owner draws (−$6,800) and card and sales tax timing (−$240).
Year to date, Jan–Aug
You made $59,363 profit so far this year, and cash rose $6,112. The gap between profit and cash is mostly owner draws (−$55,000) and card and sales tax timing (+$1,749).
Cash from operations vs cash in the bank
Operating cash is profit adjusted for timing; the bank line is what is actually there at each month end.
- Cash at month end
- Cash from operations
