Track cashflow… to be in the know!

Many businesses are struggling with cashflow at the moment, and yes, we know that’s stating the obvious. But it’s times like these that highlight just how important cashflow is to a business; it’s not all about profit, unfortunately. Cashflow forecasting in good times helps a business owner plan ahead for growth. In tough times, though, it really helps them grit their teeth and not lose hope.

At Essendon, many of our clients use a handy little app called Fluidly to help them track their cashflow. It can connect to your accounting software, analyse your data, and present you with a detailed baseline cashflow forecast… at the press of a button. It does the number crunching, so you can then do the strategising and planning.

Do you…
Loathe nasty surprises?
Hate compiling cashflow spreadsheets?
Want to be able to make swift financial decisions?
Love information at your fingertips?

Have a look at Fluidly… we reckon it’s a game changer for businesses wanting to take control of their finances. And if you discover a nasty hole, we have a superb team of financial collaborators who can help you work out how to plug it!

Cyber-attack… it follows a process

As we are currently very aware, “attack” on our world can come from many angles. But there is still one that businesses, perhaps more than ever, need to protect against constantly; cyber-attack.
