Why this course

You spend mornings stitching together Excel dumps from banking portals, ERP exports, and manual logs, while senior leadership asks for a single cash visibility report. The tools you use are mismatched, approvals get lost in email threads, and any variance triggers frantic ad-hoc calls. When the month-end close arrives, the forecast is either outdated or inaccurate, forcing you to make liquidity decisions on shaky numbers.

The audit committee now demands a documented evidence trail for every cash movement, but your current process leaves receipts scattered across inboxes and shared drives. Missing or late data prolongs the sign-off, and the risk of a cash shortfall looms as the next financing round approaches. Every mis-aligned line item threatens your credibility and the firm’s ability to secure cheap funding.

What you walk away with

Generate an audit-ready evidence pack for each forecasting cycle.
Reduce manual data-reconciliation time by at least 50 percent.
Establish a repeatable weekly cadence with clear ownership roles.
Communicate liquidity risk to the CFO with a concise dashboard.

Before and after

Before

Your cash data lives in separate Excel files, bank portal PDFs, and ERP extracts, forcing you to manually copy, paste, and reconcile each night. Evidence for the audit sits in scattered email threads, and the monthly forecast often arrives late, missing the CFO's liquidity review. The lack of a single source of truth leads to duplicated effort and frequent questions from senior leadership.

After

All cash sources are captured in a single register, the forecast model updates automatically, and the audit evidence pack is generated with one click. A weekly cadence with clear owners keeps the data fresh, and the CFO receives a concise dashboard each Friday. You now have a repeatable, auditable process that supports rapid financing decisions.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this, the next month-end close will arrive with incomplete cash data, forcing you to present estimates to the board. The audit committee will request a remediation plan, and your credibility with the CFO will be questioned during the upcoming financing round.

Who it is for

A treasury professional who owns daily cash positioning, runs the month-end cash forecast, and coordinates with finance, banking partners, and the CFO. They work in a fast-paced environment, juggling multiple systems, and need a repeatable method to consolidate data, produce audit-ready evidence, and communicate liquidity risk to senior leadership.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a basic introduction to treasury functions rather than a repeatable cash forecasting method.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week and the course saves an estimated 40-60 hours of internal scaffolding work.

Why $199 is the right number

A half-day consultant to design a cash forecast typically costs $2K-$5K and still leaves you without templates. Generic treasury certification courses run $800-$2K and lack hands-on artefacts. DIY efforts can consume 60+ hours of internal time. At $199 you get a complete, ready-to-use system that pays for itself in weeks.
