But managing it? That’s where many organisations struggle. Whether it’s unexpected changes in demand, supplier delays, inflation, or FX volatility, the reality is that many finance teams are left reacting rather than steering. The problem isn’t a lack of data - it’s the inability to connect it, trust it, and make fast decisions when the stakes are high. # Why Cash Flow Planning Fails in Practice Most finance leaders know they need better cash flow forecasting. But here’s what typically holds them back: ●    Siloed data across A/P, A/R, payroll, and operations ●    Manual processes that can’t keep up with market volatility ●    Lack of visibility into near-term liquidity and long-term impact ●    Difficulty aligning detailed operational data with financial statements These issues create real risk  -  not just financial, but strategic. Because without a trusted, connected view of your cash position, it’s nearly impossible to confidently make investment decisions, manage working capital, or respond to external shocks. That’s where we believe your first step shouldn't be a tool - it should be a framework. --- # Start with a Foundation That Connects: Your Fast Track to Cash Flow Planning At Profit&, we’ve worked with dozens of finance teams grappling with the same question: How do we get to a place where cash planning and FP&A actually work together? That’s why we created the Profit& Frame FP&A Starter Kit. Built on Anaplan’s powerful planning engine, it's designed to be your fast-track foundation - the structured first step before layering in full-scale cash flow planning. Here’s what we recommend: --- # Phase 1: Create a Cash Flow Engine with Anaplan Before you can plan strategically, you need to model the movement of cash in real time - and that means starting with Anaplan. This gives you: - **Granular cash visibility** by ingesting real A/P and A/R ledger lines - **Flexible forecasting** of collections and payments, down to invoice level - **Simulation tools** for FX changes, VAT deferrals, delays, loans, and more - **Real-time scenario planning** across currencies and business units The result? An agile, transparent view of short-term cash flow that’s ready to support rapid decisions. --- # Phase 2: Layer in Financial Structure with the Profit& Frame Starter Kit Now that you have operational-level visibility, the next step is to build the bridge between that and your broader financial picture. This is where the Profit& Frame Starter Kit comes in. It includes: - **Automated 3-statement model** (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) - **Pre-built working capital schedules** that link to receivables/payables - **Support for Capex, depreciation, and debt tracking ** - **Versioning tools** to test upside/downside scenarios with ease In short, it integrates your cash insight into your wider FP&A process - **accurately, automatically, and at speed.** --- # Phase 3: Expand and Refine - On Your Terms  From there, you can scale with confidence. The Starter Kit is modular and subscription-based (£900/month with a 3-month no-risk guarantee), so you can add what you need, when you need it: - **Multi-entity support**, intercompany eliminations, multi-currency. - **Scenario layers** like FX exposure, refinancing, or capex changes. - **Consolidation tools** that keep group-level reporting consistent and fast. --- # What This Means for You By combining Anaplan’s cash flow agility with the structured power of the FP&A Starter Kit, you create a planning ecosystem that does more than forecast - it empowers. ●    Move fast without compromising accuracy. ●    Align finance and operations in a shared view of the future. ●    Give leadership real-time insights for confident decision-making. ●    Free your team from Excel-based chaos, and focus on strategic work. This isn’t about implementing software - it’s about creating a resilient financial backbone that supports real growth. --- # Ready to Move from Chaos to Clarity?
