As the expression goes, “Cash Is King” but many business owners and financial managers have managed to grow their businesses without incorporating a standard 13-Week Cash Flow Forecast into their routine financial reporting, so they are not evaluating, understanding, and managing their liquidity using the tool lenders rely on when extending credit. The Chicago Midwest Chapter of the Turnaround Management Association (TMA) is pleased to host a free-for-all 13-Week Cash Flow webinar hosted by Jim Keane and Mac Rowland of Harney Partners, a national middle corporate advisory firm, to provide business owners and financial managers of all sized firms an understanding of the critical drivers of this report, keys to making it more reliable, tips for presenting it to lenders and stakeholders, and the strategic importance of this report for any business.
