    Crying [:'(] Dashboard for Cash Planning

    One key metrics for most non-profits is cash forecasting.  Currently, this process is mostly a manual one, using exports into excel spread sheets, etc.Crying

    Question: What would be the best combination of metrics to put on a Exec Director's dashboard that would best reflect future cash balances?

    (or anything close would be a true blessing)

     Thanks!

    Hi there,

     

    My boss actually took to the Giving Summary By Constituency and Recent Gifts List.  He was able to keep an eye on donors to whom he may want to call, or send a special note to. WinkWink

    Not a total plan but we use the AR module and show AR aged in one box.  The AP box then can show the AP liabilities aged.  Assuming you stay current on booking AP and AR the combination of looking at these 2 give you a decent detailed idea of what is going on by client/vendor.    One significant problem with these is liabilities (withheld payroll taxes and items, etc) which have NOT been vouchered yet.  Having $$$ in non-AP liabilities does not bring them on to the AP dashboard.  obviously this does not address donations etc (unless they are booked into AR).
