Moving Company cash flow forecast for the next 13 weeks

A moving company forecast follows the booking calendar. Booked moves tell you when deposits and balances arrive and when crews and fuel go out.

Getting the forecast right for a moving company

Put each booked move's balance in its move week.
Add extra crew and truck rentals in peak weeks.
Put claims at the speed you usually settle them.

An example

In May a moving company books 60 June moves, collecting deposits now and balances on move day. It hires seasonal crew in late May and rents two extra trucks. The forecast shows cash rising in May on deposits, then the June weeks where crew pay and truck rentals go out before the balances land.

What to watch

Claims rising with new crews
Deposits held for summer moves against cash in the bank
Truck repairs in the busy season
