90-DAY CASH FLOW & WORKING CAPITAL DECISION TOOLKIT™
An Excel Decision Tool for Liquidity Forecasting, Cash Release Prioritization & Results Tracking—with a Supporting Executive Paper
Cash visibility becomes valuable when it leads to timely management action. Finance teams need to understand upcoming liquidity requirements, identify feasible working capital improvements, and track whether those actions deliver cash. 90-Day Cash Flow & Working Capital Decision Toolkit™, developed by UJ Consulting, places Excel at the center of this workflow. It connects liquidity forecasting, cash improvement priorities, and execution tracking so leaders can move from reviewing numbers to managing the decisions behind them.
Designed for CFOs, finance directors, treasury teams, business owners, and management consultants, this standalone Excel product supports a disciplined 90-day cash management agenda. An accompanying Executive Paper explains the methodology, interpretation principles, and management context supporting the workbook. Use the Excel toolkit to organize expected cash receipts and payments, examine timing assumptions, and assess the implications for available liquidity. Connect forecast discussions with specific decisions about collections, expenditure timing, operational commitments, and cash improvement actions.
Extend that visibility into working capital management. Examine opportunities across accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable, then prioritize interventions according to their expected cash effect, feasibility, timing, and business dependencies. Keep customer relationships, supplier continuity, and service requirements visible when considering changes. Translate selected opportunities into accountable actions with owners, deadlines, and expected outcomes. Review implementation progress alongside the cash outlook to distinguish delayed execution, revised assumptions, and realized improvements. This creates a clearer basis for discussions between Finance and the operational teams responsible for delivery. The supporting Paper helps users understand why the calculations matter and how to interpret them within a management process. It reinforces the distinction between forecast cash release and observed results, helping teams avoid treating an opportunity estimate as cash already received.
Use the toolkit in recurring cash reviews, working capital workshops, and executive planning discussions. Establish a shared view of liquidity needs, focus attention on actionable priorities, and maintain accountability throughout the improvement cycle. Bring forecasting and execution into one practical workflow: anticipate cash needs, prioritize working capital actions, and track the results that matter.
