MSP cash flow forecast for the next 13 weeks

An MSP forecast starts easy because contracts repeat. The work is putting license renewals and hardware purchases in their exact weeks.

Getting the forecast right for an MSP

Use contract billing as the base, in the week it is collected.
Add annual license renewals on their dates.
Put hardware purchases in the week you pay the supplier, and the client payment in the week it usually arrives.

An example

An MSP with 40 clients bills $95,000 a month in contracts, collected mostly in the first two weeks. In March, an annual security tool renewal of $28,000 lands, and a client's $35,000 server order goes to the supplier. The client pays in 30 days. The forecast shows that week before you place the order.

What to watch

Annual license renewals landing in one month
Hardware purchased for clients and not yet paid
Project invoices past 60 days
