Table Structures and Data Layouts
Cash Flow Statement (Main Sheet)
This sheet presents a professional, categorized cash flow statement based on IFRS standards but simplified for startup use. It includes three primary sections: | Section | Description | |--------|-------------| | Operating Activities | Day-to-day business income and expenses (e.g., salaries, software subscriptions, office supplies). | | Investing Activities | Capital expenditures (e.g., laptops, office furniture), equipment purchases. | | Financing Activities | Funding rounds, loans received or repaid, equity investments. |Monthly Breakdown Sheet
A dynamic table with columns for each month of the fiscal year (12 months). Each row represents a specific transaction type.Columns and Data Types
The following data types are used across the sheets: | Column Name | Data Type | Description | |-------------|-----------|-------------| | Transaction ID | Text (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier for each entry. | | Date | Date | Transaction date (e.g., 01/15/2024). | | Category | Dropdown List (Text) | e.g., “Office Rent”, “Software License”, “Seed Funding”. | | Description | Text (Short) | Brief explanation of the transaction. | | Amount (USD) | Currency ($ format, 2 decimals) | Positive for inflows, negative for outflows. | | Type | Dropdown: Inflow / Outflow | Determines cash movement direction. | | Source/Reference | Text (Optional) | Invoice number, bank reference ID. |Formulas Required
To automate calculations and reduce manual errors: - **Total Operating Cash Flow**: `=SUMIFS(MonthlyBreakdown!$D:$D, MonthlyBreakdown!$C:$C, "Operating")` - **Net Cash Flow (Monthly)**: `=SUMIF(MonthlyBreakdown!$E:$E, "Inflow", MonthlyBreakdown!$F:$F) - SUMIF(MonthlyBreakdown!$E:$E, "Outflow", MonthlyBreakdown!$F:$F)` - **Cumulative Cash Balance**: `=PreviousMonthBalance + CurrentMonthNetCashFlow` (uses a running total formula). - **Cash Flow Forecast (Next 6 Months)**: Uses a combination of `FORECAST.LINEAR`, growth assumptions from the Settings sheet, and dynamic lookup tables. - **Break-even Month Calculation**: `=MATCH(TRUE, CumulativeCashBalance >=0,0)` – Identifies month when cash turns positive.Conditional Formatting
Visual cues help users quickly interpret financial health: - **Negative Cash Flow**: Red background with white text for months with outflows exceeding inflows. - **Positive Cash Flow**: Green background with dark green text. - **Low Cash Balance (< $5,000)**: Amber highlight to flag potential liquidity risks. - **High Outflow (Top 3 Expenses)**: Color-scale based on amount (darker red = higher cost). - **Forecasted Break-even Month**: Blue border around the cell containing the break-even month.User Instructions
