SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Finance teams need a fast, consistent way to answer "how many months of cash do we have left?" and to anticipate short-term liquidity gaps before board meetings, investor updates, or monthly reviews. This Skill automates burn rate and runway calculations and produces a standardized 13-week cash forecast table. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Burn Rate & Runway Calculation: Pulls cash balances via acct_get_balance_sheet and last-3-months OPEX via acct_get_profit_loss, excluding non-cash items, then computes runway months with a status label (Critical <2, Caution 2-4, Healthy >4 months). - 13-Week Rolling Liquidity Forecast: Builds a week-by-week table (Opening Cash, Receipts, Disbursements, Closing Cash) refined with live AR/AP aging data, raising a liquidity warning if closing cash goes negative in any week. - Use Case: Before a board meeting, the finance-manager agent runs the skill to produce a runway statement (e.g., "4.7 months, Healthy") plus a 13-week forecast table for the CFO executive report. ## Quick Start Ask the finance-manager agent to calculate the current cash runway and generate a 13-week liquidity forecast using the latest balance sheet and P&L actuals.

Frequently Asked Questions about cash-runway-forecasting

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate cash runway and burn rate for my company?

Cash runway equals current liquid cash divided by average monthly burn. This Skill pulls balances via acct_get_balance_sheet and the last 3 months of expenses via acct_get_profit_loss, excludes non-cash items like depreciation, then computes runway months with a status label.

How to build a 13-week cash flow forecast?

Load weekly receipt and disbursement assumptions from the gbrain finance source, then refine them with live AR and AP aging reports. The Skill outputs a 13-row table of opening cash, receipts, disbursements, and closing cash, warning if any week turns negative.

What tools does the cash runway forecast require?

It requires the existing acct_* MCP contract tools: acct_get_balance_sheet, acct_get_profit_loss, and acct_get_aging_report, plus a gbrain finance source containing forecast assumptions at finance/cash-forecast/. It runs on the finance-manager profile.

Why is my burn rate overstated in the runway calculation?

Burn rate is overstated when non-cash items like depreciation and amortisation are included in expenses. Exclude them from the cash burn computation, and manually add committed but unbooked outflows such as payroll or vendor contracts not yet in AP.

When should I not use cash runway forecasting?

Do not use it for FX and credit facility monitoring, which belongs to treasury-fx-facility-mgmt, or for budget modelling, which belongs to budget-financial-modeling. It is scoped to burn rate, runway months, and 13-week liquidity forecasting only.
