Matsu Essentiel · Fixed price Cash flow check-up: 13 weeks ahead.

Know in which week cash will get tight, and what to do beforehand. In 5 working days, based on your documents, with no need to travel.

Useful documents

The ones we need most often. We draw up the list together during the call, based on what you have:

  • Bank statements for the last 3 months, for all your accounts
  • The list of customer invoices not yet paid, with their due dates
  • The list of supplier invoices to be paid
  • The repayment schedule for your loans and for your tax and social security liabilities
  • Your order book or your sales forecast for the next 3 months

You receive

On delivery, via a secure download link, in the format agreed during the call:

  • A week-by-week cash flow table over 13 weeks, which you can update yourself
  • The week when cash gets tight, and by how much
  • 5 concrete, costed actions to recover or preserve cash
  • A 45 min debrief by video call, including a walkthrough of the table

Who is it for? Business leaders who can feel cash getting tight, or who need to present a forecast to their bank, their shareholders or the CCSF (the French committee that grants payment plans for tax and social security debts).

If the situation is already critical, we'll tell you frankly and point you to the right people. See also our guide business in difficulty: what should you do?

Frequently asked questions

13-week cash flow check-up: your questions.

Answers to the questions we are asked most often about this kit.

Doesn't my expert-comptable (chartered accountant) already do this?

Your chartered accountant looks at the past and prepares the accounts. The 13-week forecast looks at the near future, week by week, so you can make decisions. The two complement each other.

Can I reuse the table?

Yes. It is designed to be updated every week in a few minutes, and we show you how during the debrief.

I'd rather start on my own: do you have a template?

Yes: download our free 13-week cash flow plan Excel template. On top of that, the kit gives you the analysis, the critical week and 5 costed actions.

Why a call before ordering?

Because every business is different. In 45 minutes, by phone or video call, an executive from our team listens to your situation, checks that the kit really meets your needs, reviews the documents available and agrees with you on the deliverable format. If a kit isn't right for you, we'll tell you. The call is free and with no commitment.

When do I pay?

Nothing before the call. If you decide to order, we email you a summary of what was agreed and the payment link for the 30% deposit, by bank card or bank transfer. The 70% balance is paid on delivery of the report.

How are my documents protected?

Once your order is placed, we email you a secure upload link specific to your file. No email attachments. Your documents are used solely for your kit, and we never name our clients.

What if I want to go further?

The amounts paid for the kit are deducted if you continue with the 3-day audit or an engagement within 3 months.
