In episode 92 of Cash Flow Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore how a mid-sized landscaping company in Boise, Idaho used rolling 13-week cash flow forecasts to avoid a seasonal cash crunch. Owner Maria Torres noticed that despite profitable contracts, her account would dip negative every spring before the first big commercial payments hit. The episode walks through her forecasting model: tracking receivables aging, fixed weekly payroll, and variable fuel costs on a spreadsheet updated every Friday. The key insight was a simple 'cash gap' metric that triggered a $50,000 line of credit draw before it was needed. Lucas and Luna discuss why rolling forecasts work better than annual budgets for businesses with seasonal swings, and how a 13-week horizon captures both short-term liquidity and medium-term visibility. The conversation ends with a practical tip for any business owner: start with just one forecast cycle per month, and build from there. #CashFlowForecasting #RollingForecast #SeasonalBusiness #Landscaping #SmallBusinessFinance #WorkingCapital #Receivables #MariaTorres #Boise #LiquidityManagement #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #CashFlowConversations #FinancialPlanning #LineOfCredit #CashGapMetric #SpreadsheetForecast #SeasonalCashCrunches Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
