Get your freelance finances under control - Cash Flow Forecasting Buddy
When you start freelancing, an entirely different business skill is needed when it comes to managing the cash that’s flowing in and out of your business.
Freelance income isn’t consistent. One month you might get $1,000, and the next month you might hit $10,000. So you need to be financially prepared for what the coming months might look like.
And that’s hard to do if you can’t see what’s going on!
The first step is to keep track of exactly what your income and outgoings are.
If you’re not doing this, and you’re struggling to manage your money as a freelancer, there’s a super simple system you can put in place to help get your business on the right track.
The Cash Flow Forecasting Buddy
Using a cash flow spreadsheet will help you to:
- See at a glance what you’re earning each month, what’s going out of your account each month - including all those tiny bank fees, credit card fees, and currency conversion fees that can really add up.
- Spot any low-income months that are coming up, so you can double down on your pitching and marketing efforts and get more money in.
