“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Cash flow visibility is critical for executive decision-making, but QuickBooks doesn’t offer live streaming to non-users. You can create real-time cash flow dashboards that update automatically without requiring executive access to your accounting system.
Here’s how to set up live cash flow streaming that keeps executives informed with current financial positions.
Enable live cash flow streaming using Coefficient
Coefficient creates true live QuickBooks cash flow streaming through automated data sync that eliminates access barriers. Executives see near real-time cash positions through shared spreadsheet dashboards while your QuickBooks system maintains security and control.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import QuickBooks Cash Flow Statement using “From QuickBooks Report” method.
Connect the standard Cash Flow Statement to provide executives with comprehensive cash flow visibility. This report shows operating, investing, and financing activities in the format executives expect.
Step 2. Set up hourly or daily automated refreshes for near real-time data.
Configure frequent refresh schedules to ensure executives see current cash positions. Hourly updates provide near real-time visibility for time-sensitive cash flow decisions.
Step 3. Supplement with filtered transaction-level data.
Import data from Payment objects for incoming cash tracking and Bill Payment objects for outgoing cash monitoring. This provides detailed visibility into cash flow drivers beyond summary reports.
Step 4. Include bank account balances from Account objects.
Pull current account balances to give executives complete cash position visibility. Combine this with cash flow projections for comprehensive financial planning.
Step 5. Create executive dashboard with dynamic date filtering.
Set up rolling 13-week cash flow projections and automated variance analysis. Use conditional formatting to highlight cash flow concerns automatically so executives can spot issues quickly.
Transform static reporting into dynamic visibility
Live cash flow streaming enables executives to make informed decisions based on current financial positions rather than outdated manual reports. Start streaming your cash flow data today.
