Cash Flow Forecasting Skill

Projects future tax obligations (BAS, PAYG instalments, SG, FBT, income tax) and cash flow requirements based on historical Xero transaction data. Identifies months with potential negative cash positions and recommends reserve levels.

When to Use

• Quarterly cash flow planning before BAS periods
• Annual tax obligation budgeting
• Assessing whether PAYG instalment variation is warranted
• Planning for large tax payments (FBT, income tax)
• New client engagement — understanding upcoming obligations
• Scenario modelling (growth, contraction, seasonal adjustment)
