The conversation

Why “three months in reserve” may miss the mark.

A new revenue stream can look great on paper. But if the income arrives once a year and the bills arrive every month, how do you make it work?

We'll explore why a blanket “three months in reserve” rule may miss the mark, particularly when grants or major payments arrive only once a year.

You'll learn how to look at your income cycle, your commitments and the cash you need between payments.

Who should attend

Anyone who decides, plans or pays.

  • CEOs and senior leaders making decisions about income and spending.
  • CFOs and finance managers planning cash flow and budgets.
  • Staff managing invoices, payroll and day-to-day payments.
  • Board members and treasurers making decisions about reserves.
  • Anyone responsible for ensuring there's enough cash to cover upcoming costs.

Executives: bring your chair, treasurer or a board member.

What we'll cover

Four perspectives, one question: will the cash be there?

  1. How to map revenue against upcoming obligations.

  2. How to use cash flow forecasts to spot potential shortfalls and plan ahead.

  3. How you structure revenue and when you collect it.
