Professional Cash Flow Budgeting for Farmers
Sensible Solutions for Smart Cash Flow Management
Cash flow management can make or break a business, and this is no different for farming. Considering all the seasonal variations, we can even say for farmers, financial projection or cash flow budget is extra crucial. As professional bookkeepers who have been living and working closely with rural communities, we also know what poor cash planning and forecasting can result in. We want your agribusiness succeed and bring you profits. That's why we started offering our professional cash flow budgeting services for Australian farmers.
Why cash flow management is necessary for farmers?
Cash flow is the life blood of every farming business. It shows the flow of money in (cash inflow) and out (cash outflow) of the farm over a specified period. Cash flow budget shows all the scheduled purchases, payments, borrowings, sales, etc. While it gives a clear picture and projection for the next month, quarter, or year, it also helps farmers plan ahead. For example, by seeing their cash flow for the next year, a farmer can plan ahead for the best time and price to sell their crop, when and how much they need to borrow. Let’s take a livestock company into account. If their projection shows a surplus of cash after selling their cattle in the 3rd quarter, they can arrange their borrowings, debt payments, or investments accordingly.
While it’s not possible to predict everything, by analyzing the data from previous periods a business can make a cash flow forecast that helps them see what’s down the road for them. Understanding your financial situation will help farmers make more informed decisions.
