ActionCASH
Built in partnership with the team at Cash Flow Story, ActionCASH is a simple, yet highly effective analysis tool that helps business owners like you improve the profitability, cash flow and value of your business.
What is ActionCASH?
“One of the earliest lessons I learned in business was that balance sheets and income statements are fiction, cash flow is reality.” - Chris Chocola
ActionCASH is based on the highly insightful financial storytelling framework created by visionary financial experts Alan Miltz and Joss Milner. As qualified Chartered Accountants, Alan and Joss regularly faced the challenge of explaining to clients the underlying story behind their numbers. Often entrepreneurs are focused solely on the profitability of their business, which is only the first chapter. The rest of the story went untold, but not any longer.
The ActionCASH systems uses data contained in your financial statements to create a your ActionCASH Scorecard. This sophisticated, automated financial ‘health check’ for your business brings your numbers to life in a clear, simple, easy to understand format. This ensures everyone in your organisation can see and understand at your numbers in the same way, whilst enabling you to measure the potential financial impact of your decisions in advance.
The story of any business is told over 4 chapters, which allows you to fully understand the narrative of your business. If business leaders only focuses on profitability, they will never understand the full story behind their numbers.
“Never take your eyes off the cash flow because it’s the lifeblood of business.” - Sir Richard Branson
ActionCASH provides you with a structured approach to view your business performance in a simple, insightful, consistent, and engaging way. The 4 chapters are:
- Chapter 1 - Profitability
- Chapter 2 - Working Capital
- Chapter 3 - Other Capital
- Chapter 4 – Funding
"We were always focused on our profit and loss statement. But cash flow was not a regularly discussed topic. It was as if we were driving along, watching only the speedometer, when in fact we were running out of gas." - Michael Dell, founder and CEO, Dell Technologies
