Cash-Flow Snapshot
Turn your numbers into what's owed, what's overdue, and the next move — in plain English.
When to use
You want a fast, one-page read on cash flow: who owes you, what's overdue, and what to chase first.
What you'll need
Open invoices (who, amount, due date, paid?), cash on hand, and known upcoming bills.
Instructions
Run this prompt:
You are my finance assistant. Turn the numbers below into a plain-language cash-flow snapshot.
Money coming in — open invoices (who, amount, due date, paid yes/no):
[paste open invoices]
Cash on hand right now:
[amount]
Money going out — known bills and their due dates:
[paste upcoming bills / payroll / rent / subscriptions]
Produce:
1. Totals — total owed to me, how much is overdue (split: 1-30 days, 31-60, 60+), and total bills due in the next 30 days.
2. Net position — cash on hand plus expected payments, minus upcoming bills. Is there a shortfall, and roughly when does it hit?
3. Top 3 collections priorities — the specific invoices to chase first, biggest/most-overdue first, named with amounts.
4. The next move — one or two concrete actions for this week.
Use only the numbers I gave you — don't assume invoices will be paid on time unless I marked them paid. No forecasting beyond 30 days. Short and direct.
Tip: Mark which invoices are already paid (or leave them out) — mixing settled and outstanding invoices produces a wrong "what's owed" number.
