The starting numbers are an example for a staffing agency. Replace them with yours.

Getting the forecast right for a staffing agency

  • Put each client's payment in the week it usually arrives.
  • Add new placements from the first week worked.
  • Show factoring advances and fees as their own lines.

An example

A warehouse client asks for 20 extra workers for eight weeks. That adds about $16,000 of weekly payroll at once. The client pays 45 days after each weekly invoice. The forecast shows the agency carrying six weeks of that payroll before the first payment.

What to watch

  • Clients stretching payment past 45 days
  • Factoring fees eating margin
  • Workers' comp rates on new job types
