Construction Financial Cash Flow Forecasting Excel Templates

Hey! We hosted a few virtual workshops with Construction Financial Management Association Members (CFMA) to crowdsource KPIs/metrics related to cash flow forecasting.

Since most of the industry is stuck looking in the past, we—along with this motivated group of ~40 construction finance and accounting pros—came up with some forward-looking KPIs to help us be better strategic partners to the business. Collectively, we brainstormed metrics such as:

• Probability-Adjusted Cash
• Credit Buffer
• Historical Curve Delta
• Cash Break-Even Date
• 13-Week Nadir
• Covenant Headroom

For our part, since we're a construction data analytics company doing cool automated visualizations and reporting, these KPIs will inform how we build a lot of our automated dashboards dealing with financial projections. In Excel format (click the button under the video to download), hopefully these templates will inspire you to add some forward-looking projections to your practice. Cheers!
